A well-behaved server (e.g, ISC) will remember the IP it last gave the
client and offer it again unless its run out of free addresses and
assigned it to another host.

You're describing "automatic allocation" as defined in the RFC:

DHCP supports three mechanisms for IP address allocation. In
"automatic allocation", DHCP assigns a permanent IP address to a
client.

In the server settings, set your leases to something long (or
infinite, if you're *really* sure this is what you want) and make your
pool of addresses big.
