DHCP assignation is just for convenience. in the contract they give you also the address that isassigned to you. it is up to you to set statically that address on yourterminal or get the same via DHCP.
To make life a lot easier for you, just get your provider to enter YOUR details into the whois database - be that ARIN or RIPE, etc, for the netblock that they have assigned to you.
Where do these 'organisations' find out which blocks are dynamic anyway? - I didn't know there was a field anywhere in the whois records for that :-)....
