So what do you have to do for dial up nodes where the IP changes on 
every start? These are transient nodes so nobody should need to connect 
to them, yet do they require a value. I was told that using any value 
e.g. 127.0.0.1 is fine for these transient nodes.
Otherwise the node itself should figure its current IP on startup itself 
*if* there is *no* value specified.
It's hardly appropriate to change the .ini entry by an external porgram 
before every start, is it?
