[Spread-users] Spread and dynamic IP addresses?

I have an application for Spread that would be set up as a number of 
relatively mobile wireless nodes on a LAN.

It is easiest to set up these nodes to get their IP addresses via 
DHCP, to avoid managing addresses manually.

But the spread server config files seem to require static IP 
addresses.

And, of course, the IP address of a particular node (and spread 
server) could change when it renews its DHCP lease. I guess this 
isn't too likely, but it is possible.

Would it work to define all the server config files as covering (say) 
the first 10 DHCP addresses:

192.168.1.100
through
192.168.1.109

and let Spread servers/clients come and go?

Thanks,
