You would also need to statically configure every box with its corresponding IP address. It's not just enough to get the frame to the box, the data-link layer (MAC address) will pass the payload of the frame to the network layer (IP address), and the destination network address must match that of the receiving host, otherwise the host will drop the packet. | |

Adding a permanent neighbor should stop periodic ARP requests, reducing a small portion of traffic. I guess I'm hoping that associating the MAC address with an IP address is a way to form an IP reservation and give me a way to issue HTTP requests to those client devices. These devices only send data to box-a.

I'm not sure why you think that DHCP is related to ip neighbor or MAC address resolution. It doesn't do that, ARP does.
