OK, you folks have convinced me. Thanks.

Typically, the stock firmware in the Linksys WRT54G does not allow you
to assign IP addresses to a MAC address. I have updated the Linksys firmware
with third party firmware so I can do this.

I am presently using firmware from here:

http://www.thibor.co.uk/

The version is:

Hyperwrt 2.1b1 + Thibor15c

The version you download depends on the version of the Linksys WRT54G.

On the Linux machine, I just run a forwarding DNS. It resolves my
names locally and then sends all other requests to my ISP. I let the
Linksys set the DNS addresses for all of the machines on my local
network.
