Hey! That sounds familiar.  We use FAI to install our clusters.

# generated by FAI
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
.
<custom stuff snipped>
.
address 10.17.33.130
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 10.17.33.255
gateway 10.17.33.1
------

I'm pretty sure this is taken care of in fai/scripts/NETWORK/S40; do your 
installs currently have DHCPC as a class for your machines?  Try taking 
them out of that class?
