In the long run, they'll be static; but at the moment the permanent IPs 
haven't been assigned, and I'm just letting them pick something up via 
corporate DHCP (to avoid conflicting with anything else on the network). 
  It's at this early experimental stage that it'd be handy to find out 
externally what they ended up being.
