Most dhcp servers will give the same NIC the same IP for some
reasonable length of time (with varying interpretations of reasonable)
with no extra configuration, so if the box is up/connected most of the
time you might get away with putting the IP in ClientAliasName as long
as you don't forget what to update on the rare occasions when it might
change.
