I would offer that we select the thing that looks the most persistent to be the persistent identity. If the choices are: DNS name vs IP address, I think most people would recognize that the DNS name is the persistent identity. And it is probably the one most people would want to use,

Keith, Operationally, the DNS shouldn't be hard. Common implementations (unaugmented BIND, in particular) make it so. If you don't think so, look at the results of the MenMice Domain Health survey (http://www.menandmice.com/6000/6000_domain_health.html) Implementation wise, the DNS _is_ hard,
