And if for some reason you don't want to use the MAC address you can use
this approach with some dhcp servers
(at least isc-dhcp):

  host machineA.example.org {
        option dhcp-client-identifier "machineA.example.org";
        fixed-address 10.2.1.6;
  }

And then you put
send dhcp-client-identifier "machineA.example.org";
in your dhclient.conf file on machineA.
