I have solved it in the following way:
I list only sitenames, and refer to dns@grasp.insa-lyon.fr or telnet/nslookup
to get the IP address. I only list about 2 IP addresses because they're
relatively new and don't get resolved most of the time (at least not for me).
I guess it depends on the number of sites involved and the frequency of change
in IP addresses. To me, adding IP addresses would become way too much work
and the majority is using names instead of numbers nowadays.
