Use DNS. Seriously. We use IPv4 where I work, and we don't use DNS, and it's still a nightmare. There's no good way to refer to a machine, short of an IPv4 addr

Use DNS. Seriously. We use IPv4 where I work, and we don't use DNS, and it's still a nightmare. There's no good way to refer to a machine, short of an IPv4 address, and that's still painful to speak and hard to memorize.
Life is much easier when you can speak of a machine as "2.dev.awesome-service" (.your-company.com)
Besides, the machines should be ephemeral, and the new ones will likely get new IPs. (Unless you're doing something like EIPs, but just stop that and use DNS. ;-) )
