Can even have DHCP pass the desired hostname of the machine to the DHCP server, which DHCP will then forward to the DNS server and you'll magically have a stable DNS name for your machine too even though the address might change.
You can do all sorts of magic, but that wasn't the point. You don't always have an access to DHCP and/or DNS servers to configure all sorts of things (or your request is denied).
Anyways, I got my answers. Thanks! KS
