Huh? You get the mac address how? Looks to me like you're trading
the need to type a simple IP address with a much larger complexity on
the server side, whatever you do.
ifconfig gives mac addresses last i checked. One just makes a note of
the mac addresses of their serves, attach the same ip to the mac
address everytime, and then everything can be run on dynamic IPs.
