Static IP and DHCP at the same time?

I posted this question on the archlinuxarm forum but thought I'll also ask this here.

This is more of a general linux networking question...

On my Pogoplug E02/V4 running DEBIAN, is it possible to have both a static IP Address and receive a DHCP address from my router?

Basically, have a static IP Address of something like 192.168.0.2 but at the same time receive an IP Address from my router (192.168.1.x) on the same physical ethernet interface. I know it's trivial to setup multiple IP Addresses on the same physical interface, but wondering if it's possible with one IP being static and the other dynamic.

Any examples? Thank you in advance.

Like so you could use a static mode for home LAN server on a switch without a router assigning IP and then dynamic mode for when you want router to assign it?

@Joey, yes.

My use case is fairly simple - I want a static IP Address so I can always access my Pogoplug using that, but would also like to get an IP Address assigned via DHCP when available.

The only thing that crossed my newb mind is wondering if you could set Pogoplug's host name to a static number like your "192.168.0.2"?
If that worked (something tells me that's iffy), then your other IP assignment could change with the router.

(?)

-update- I'm still not able to test this idea, but was hoping to help a brainstorm session.
