VCL questions (provisioning/deprovisioning)

Hi all, I have a couple of questions relating to the provisioning/deprovisioning processes in VCL... (1) I would like to understand better why the provisioning modules update the IP address of the resource being provisioned during the load process (via the getdynamicipaddress function). It
