Under both Radius and TACACS, which are the auth protocols supported by
all decent access servers, including Cisco, you'd need to setup a
user-profile for the user that needs a fixed-IP - but only _those_
specific users, not the entire userbase. Under Radius, it's trivial:
-----
MyUser	Password "MyPassword"
        User-Service-Type = Framed-User,
        Framed-Protocol = PPP,
        Framed-Address = 190.212.121.92,             # < Random number.
        Framed-Netmask = 255.255.255.255,
        Framed-Routing = None,
        Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobsen-TCP-IP,
        Framed-Filter-Id = "std.ppp.in",
        Framed-MTU = 1500

...and then you have a default entry that uses the IP pool defined on the
machine.

The justification for charging a huge amount of money for an IP address is
that soon IP addresses may become rare.
