This is incorrect. Consider for example that AirPort express units used for AirTunes without static IP addresses (DHCP addresses which change) can always be found by a Mac via Bonjour protocols. Discovery of such resources with varying IP addresses is harder than a simple host name look up, but a solved problem in many environments.
