You do know that you can setup DHCP to always give you a fixed address,
don't you?

host Nomad {
        hardware ethernet 00:60:97:94:8f:d3;
        fixed-address nomad.yogotech.com;
}

So, my laptop *always* gets the same address everytime.

Spend a little time setting it up, and then you can save time by not
having to reconfigure your box when you move to the different
environments.
