Is dynamic IP addressing necessary?  Rather than having the dialled-into
system pick an address for its caller, how about if the caller asks
for a particular IP address and authenticates itself with, say,
a password?  That same calling host would always ask for the same address.
The name-address association could be permanent, only the connections 
would be temporary.
