Is it possible to set up a Linux system so that it has a fixed IP address on the LAN but uses the addresses given to it by a router (using DHCP) for DNS?

Why do you want to statically configure IP but are unable to statically configure DNS? I believe the normal route for this sort of thing is to configure the DHCP server to hand out a static IP for a given MAC address. Even the consumer level routers I've seen can do this.
