I swear; I'm pissing into the wind here.  RFC3041 allows hosts to acquire
and use new addresses on whatever schedule the network administrator
desires; the address space is large enough that brute-force searching it is
basically a losing proposition (unlike IPv4).  I have more IP addresses
assigned to my house than atoms; believe me this is a case where security by
obscurity can actually work...
