Naming confusion

[Lloyd Hayes]

Here's a new thread.
Naming the computer host?

I'm confused by this. As I understand it, I get a different DNS 
assignment every time that I hook into the Internet from a different 
location. Yet FBSD seems to want a permanent assignment which I would 
normally get from my ISP. I don't have a permanent ISP. I mainly use 2 
services at locations all across the USA. Normally I simply assign a 
name to the computer, but it appears that FBSD wants a complete Internet 
address.

This appears to me to be a conflict. I think that I read in "The 
Complete FreeBSD, 4th Edition" where there are some addresses to use if 
the computer will never be hooked into the Internet. But that is not the 
case here.

Any ideas or help here?
