How to maintain focus on subject when animating?

Say I have a still life scene and I'm animating the camera to move around that scene - how do I maintain the depth of field focus on a particular item?
The only way I've found so far is to adjust the DoF of each frame and that seems like a ridiculous way to do it. Is there an easier way?

Can you set the DOF at each camera movement keyframe? Does it not follow in the way you expect?
No need to set it for every frame, just at key points and check what the interpolation does with it. If it goes wonky between keys, switch the earlier one to Linear.
However, I believe it might be Camera Magic (plugin) that can do it automagically for you. Either that or one of the 3D Universe Animation Tools packs. Can't remember.
