Anyone care to co-author an RFC suggesting a sensible global standard for
"local" mail relays, time servers, resolvers etc so that dial-in people can
roam without getting filtered, blocked etc?

How about defining 192.x.y.port-number, where port-number is the port
number of the service. 192.x.y.53 is the DNS server, etc..

Nah, good idea, but too many useful services with port numbers > 255, so
it doesn't work too well.
