(assuming the the NAS's MAC address was included in the IP reservation on the router's end)
That setup should work in theory but is totally unnecessary. Do one or the other. If you decide to set static on the NAS, make sure that the IP you assign is is part of the reserved list on your router (ie, it is not part of the dynamic IP range that it will assign to other, dynamic clients)
