> Users shouldn't care or know about the network's internal addressing. > Some of the application issues with NATs spring directly from this issue > (e.g. user of X-terminal setting display based on IP address instead of > DNS name). it's not the same issue. the point of using IP addresses in DISPLAY variables is not to make them visible to the user - it's because using the IP address is (in a non-NATted network) far more reliable than depending on the DNS lookup to work. the fact that doing this makes the address more visible to the user is just a side effect; most users don't care diddly about it one way or the other as long as it works.
