I use my domain. And abc.def.142.58 isn't "public" in the sense you
mean, it's not in DNS as belonging to ourmanpann.com. My web site is
hosted externally. .2-.5 are all the same machine, depending on what I
select at boot time.
Haven't given this too much thought, it's just that one domain is plenty
to keep track of for my tiny mind.
Luck,
Pann
