We're not talking about mobile IP here—we''re talking about naming in the
homenet. The technology has existed for over a decade to do what you describe
with DHCP and DDNS in IPv4, but AFAIK nobody uses it, for two reasons: one, I
don't think it actually serves a real need, and two, it requires geek skills to
set up, which most people don't have. But the second point is really a
footnote to the first.
Suppose the real need would be to have a viable way to get rid of
putting raw IP addresses in upper level protocols? Ie, SDP, etc?
