I just got out of a meeting where I was gobsmacked at the insistence by some architects that no development could be done unless the specific IP addresses of the machines in the system were set in a design document.
Think about that.
No design or development could be done unless the specific machines were known, despite the interchangability of any machine.
IP addresses are standardized, so the only thing needed to be known is the number of machines.
As I said, gobsmacked.
