My initial thoughts (plus having only cursorily scanned this thread)
is that...

DNS is external to "the cloud" and applied to it from some other
location.

IP management is internal to "the cloud".

A value-add such as dyndns.org interaction could be useful, I reckon.

Or some standardized POST-back when IPs change, or somesuch, maybe.
But then we're getting into the whole waters of callback notifications
over HTTP, and the state related to such, plus the facilities to
provide such behavior.

How does Rackspace's IP-management compare to EC2's or Rimu's?

Let's analyse what's possible given existing providers, then see what
the feature-set really is, to start with.
