This (along with its omission in your email) leads me to believe
you've overlooked /etc/hosts. 'man hosts' for more information.
Sorry, I had looked at /etc/hosts. /etc/hosts appears to only specify _static_ IP addresses, at least that's what I get from the man page.
So is there some magic syntax for specifying a variable IP address in /etc/hosts, or is there another mechanism.
And why bother with /etc/hostname if /etc/hosts is required?
