True. And using something IF-MAP and a separate server you can react to the assignment of an IP address. Problem is I don't think NMS and APM are currently thinking they need to react to these changes. But if they did, they could transition from monitoring/managing a static infrastructure to a dynamic one fairly easily.
That assumes, of course, that IF-MAP is accepted by a wider set of solution providers across the system management stack.
