does a name really have any meaning without a service associated with it?

URLs have meaning (rfc1738). It's going to be tough to know when your
browser (connecting from off-net) can cache
http://myphone.building1.isp1.com or not. Cookie handling too (keyed on
URL, which is hard linked to hostname, which will change when the phone
moves to http://myphone.building2.isp1.com).


Allow me to poke at that assumption: why should we expect that
the name (assuming there's only one, which is a bad assumption IMO),
changes instead of the address record(s)? If I travel around with my
toothbrush, shouldn't I expect it to remain named "mikestoothbrush.mtcc.com"?
Perhaps it may update a local dns to "mikestoothbrush.1027.holidayinn.com"
too, but if I really want to replenish its digital toothpaste, I'd almost
certainly surf to https://mikestoothbrush.mtcc.com to make certain I'm
not being tricked into resupplying ot.1027.holidayinn.com's toothbrush.
