Yes. Especially with noid, where the multihomed node needs to have a FQDN,
this makes a lot of sense.

This is ok for an application which of course should use the FQDN, but, even when using whatever "thing" the application uses to establish the connection (which it gets via the FQDN) that should be usable without knowledge of the network topology. I guess one can formulate it as it must have features like:


(A=B) and (B=C) gives (A=C) where '=' is "can communicate with"

and

(A->B) gives (B->A) where '->' is "can send data to"
