I have a server, nitpicking.com aka finknetwork.com. I ALSO have a desktop
and a laptop computer, both of which I'd like to assign domain names to.
The server has a fixed address. The desktop has a pretty darn fixed address
that hasn't changed in years, but is not guaranteed to remain the same.
The laptop moves from network to network, as you might expect.
