It seems like dynamic IPs are just going to become more, not less prevalent.
As a mechanism to help stabilize the identities of these nodes, for searching
purposes, would it make sense to add a level of indirection between the IP:port
address and the machine identity?

For instance, if each node had a public key hash as its identity, then when
a node comes back on, it could ping its peers and say, "I'm back, it's me,
XXXXXXX, and I'm at 248.126.54.33:1024"
