For what it's worth, aside from some reconfiguration that could be a 
little time consuming, I would suggest putting the servers on a 
different subnet that everything else.  If all the computers that are 
not servers are supposed to be configured for DHCP, insert a FreeBSD 
box that filters out any addresses outside that subnet.

i.e. Server IP addresses are all 192.168.1.0 thru 192.168.1.50.  Set 
your DHCP server to only assign IP addresses above 192.168.1.75 and up 
or so.  I'm too lazy to do the math right now, but use the appropriate 
subnet mask and filter all the other stuff out.  Aside from those 
students disrupting some of the other users on the network, they can't 
spoof the servers anymore.

Just my $.02.
