I'm not sure I agree at all...it's trivial for anybody with your domain name to find out your IP address anyway. What would the difference be?

true, since all it takes is a simple nslookup to get the IP of a domain name, right?

i'd like to know too (since you can easily find an IP either way, so would a domain name be an equal security risk than an IP address?) . . . bump.
