I'm trying to configure full automated install. The server is booting over pxe, get his dhcp lease and retrieve the preseed file over http.

No way to use DHCP to get the address for d-i and install the server with a static address ?
Yeah, we noticed that as well.In our provisioning software (noc-ps) we simply work around that by not specifying the configuration in the preseed file, but feeding a static network configuration through kernel parameters:
==netcfg/disable_dhcp=true netcfg/get_ipaddress=$ip netcfg/get_netmask=$netmask netcfg/get_gateway=$gateway
