About half of my devices, including all the VOIP phones, do not have DNS. I just cannot afford to lose the phones if 
there is a DNS failure. They have DHCP, but not DNS.

I usually set these up with DHCP-registered DNS names for the phones. (Dynamic DNS)

It works pretty well.

I’m not sure how giving them DNS names makes them less resilient to DNS failures.
