I believe the IPs will be assigned based on the machine's MAC address and not by room numbers.

Suppose Hostmaster assigns the range 35.10.58.2-35.10.58.100 for just one set of rooms in our building. What stops a rogue in our building, or even from that very set of rooms, from grabbing, say, 35.10.58.10 for their static IP, and thereby creating a conflict with the rightful dynamic user of that IP?
