I also object to the notion that every host or application should be identified by name and not by address. In a peer to peer network, the peers can certainly have the other peers' IP addresses known to them. You don't need a DNS at all, in situations like this. Matter of fact, I would suggest that the Client Identifier Option of DHCP is precisely for such scenarios. Where the unconfigured peer needs to be given a specific IP address, because that's the only way the other peers can find it.
