The easiest way to achieve this is to put a static entry in the DNS for
your laptop, and then tell the DHCP server to issue a static lease,
based on the MAC address of the laptop.

in your dhcpd.conf:

    host foo {
        hardware ethernet 00:50:da:d3:96:6d;
        fixed-address 172.16.1.11;
    }
