Oh, come on, let's not be naive. It's perfectly possible to have a common
situation where it would be exceedingly difficult to do this. Anything
that gets wired in by IP address, particularly on remote computers, would
make this a killer. That could include things such as firewall rules/ACL's,
recursion DNS server addresses, VPN adapters, VoIP equipment with stacks too
stupid to do DNS, etc.
