Sure thing, Dan.

It's mainly for simplicity's sake in the end.  I've got a handful of  
devices on my network that are within my 192.168.1.x subnet but that  
I've assigned fixed IPs to (printers, one Windows box that's used for  
VPNing, etc.).  I'd have to go around and change all of those to a new  
IP, cross my fingers and hope nothing breaks.
