Yes, this is currently the best solution.  I'd like to make it mandatory
that dynamic IP nodes be transient, unless they have a dynamic DNS entry
that can follow them.  In that case its perfectly okay.  We need to modify
the server code to hold on to DNS names instead of converting to IPs, but
it shouldn't be too difficult.
