So what about a very high 192.168.0.x address?  I don't want to set up a
server just for DHCP, nor do I want to have to ping my server every time I
reboot.
You could put your static addresses on 192.168.1.* and set the mask to 
255.255.0.0. Have you checked the router configuration if it's possible 
to specify a couple of static address even though the DHCP-server is 
enabled?
