While I generally agree with you about names and numbers, it is too naive for more complicated network configurations.
e.g. 1) If you are using a firewall, although the firewall will rewrite the packet headers to translate ip addresses, it will not rewrite ip addresses embedded in the packet bodies (like the RMI codebase) 2) If your machine is multi-homed with NICs accessing networks that cannot see each other, you cannot send the ip address to the client, because it will be wrong on one of the networks. 3) The default configuration binds to all ip addresses 0.0.0.0 (which is useless to a client) Where I will agree with you is that if you do specify an ip address, it shouldn't then change over to using the host name.
