Not sure if you can run it on the belkin, but dd-wrt has this
capability...
Also, using avahi, you might be able to resolve the host as "hostname.local"
(where "hostname" is your host's name.
Agreed, you should be able to install nss-mdns and avahi on all your
machines and then use hostname.local addresses. I don't know how you
get Mac and Windows to play with this configuration (Mac at least
should be able to do it) and if there are non-pc devices that need to
be resolved then you do need to think about having a DHCP+DNS server
or giving those static-IPs for your network (which is not necessarily
a bad solution).
