I also use resolvconf so I can set up DNS dynamically.  
The config was pretty straightforward.
/etc/network/interfaces...
  
  mapping eth1
    script /usr/sbin/guessnet-ifupdown
    map work work
    map home home
    map dhcp dhcp
  
  iface dhcp inet dhcp
  
  iface home inet static
    test-peer address 192.168.1.1 mac 99:C9:9F:97:39:29
    address 192.168.1.41
    broadcast 192.168.1.255
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.1.1
    # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package,
    # if installed
    dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1
  
  iface work inet static
    test-peer address 10.0.4.98 mac 00:C0:9F:97:39:29
    address 10.0.4.44
    broadcast 10.0.255.255
    netmask 255.255.0.0
    gateway 10.0.0.1
    # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package,
    # if installed
    dns-search domain.com
    dns-nameservers 10.0.0.4

I use iputils-arping to get mac addresses.
