A recent, and hitherto silent, lurker here so apologies for wading in unannounced and so late in the day... -----Original Message----- > From: dmm [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Dolson > On the "nomadic address" question, this name really feels wrong to me.

Would something along the lines of 'Non-persistent topologically-correct' address work here? The 'topologically-correct' component reflects the fact that the address is relevant/usable only on a specific network connection. The 'non-persistent' aspect indicates that this address can change (whether that be due to a change of attachment or not is immaterial in this context). Granted it is a bit of a mouthful but perhaps the nuances of what is trying to be described require it? Regards, Mathew
