still doesn't seem as clean to me. we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one.
What I have done though is setup my rokus in my /etc/avahi/hosts file so I can refer to them as roku01.local and roku02.local
if you dont use avahi you should check it out. I wouldn't put it on a box outside a firewall. but for your home network its great. . I dont use it for autoip because I stilll have a windows box(if it was not for playon I wouldnt have any windows boxes, just virtuals will get a multi core box to host it as a virtual at some point) and some windows virtuals that need dhcp, but you can use autoip and get rid of your dhcp server if you have nothing but Linux boxes. But I do use it for local dns. I never have to remember ips any more as long as I named the box something I can remember.
wish someone would make a windows avahi autoip client. it would make my life very easy.
