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.

Hmm OK. Perhaps it's still something we would eventually want to add to the portal though?
Perhaps - at least the configuration side of it to help people set it up but it really be nice to have name binding in a concise deltacloud level api, that is my dream anyway ;)
In any case, we *do* need to start thinking about what shape the network management API is going to take...
