Docked and WiFi..same IP?

We have some apps that are presented as shortcuts on their desktop. This has worked well but we have deployed laptops with docks and the apps don't like getting a new IP when they switch to WiFi. We are hoping the web version of these apps will be released this year but in the meantime I'm considering having wired and wireless on the same VLAN/subnet. It appears MS DHCP won't give out the same address for 2 different MACs..a good thing. So has anyone done this successfully? I could spoof the WiFi adapter to match the dock...or use dnsmasq which appears to allow dual MAC addresses? I know plenty could go wrong but they shouldn't be connected to both at the same time.... Has anyone done this? Cheers
