Yes, usually mDNS works just fine. But, I did say usually.
Why not just lock down your IPs to KNOWN values and move on.
They won't change, you know where each device is addressed, and connections on the field will JUST WORK! What more could you ask for?
Well, OK, you could ask for an easy to find guide to setting your IP's statically. Fortunately, this thread already has what you really need to know.

Couldn't agree with this more. At the end of the day, mDNS (DHCP) doesn't buy you much.
As for the IPs themselves, I wouldn't be too worried. Last year, our roboRIO and Driver Station IPs were correct, but we got away with our other device (Jetson) as 10.TE.AM.25. Where we did get hung up, however, was with FMS allowed network ports. Make sure to double check your SSH, camera stream, etc. port configurations (
