Perhaps this is a good group for a discussion of IP number management.  I
posted to comp.protocols.tcp-ip without much response.  

We have several thousand numbers out there and while we have a database of
who is assigned each number, it is static.  With the way people 
move around, hard drives get trashed, employees are hired or replaced, etc.
the data gets stale real fast. 

I gather that dynamic solutions are technically difficult (and probably not
real intersting to non administrative types).  

Any comments, suggestions, words of wisdom?
