[mosh-devel] Changing server IP (but same hostname)

This is a hypothetical scenario, but does mosh work if the 
server changes IP addresses, but maintains the same hostname 
through a mechanism like dynamic DNS?

The idea to be able to maintain a login session to a mobile 
server device that is wandering around different wireless 
networks and getting different non-firewalled IP addresses, 
(e.g., MIT pre-summer-2013, a bit of a snark).

I think mosh-client would need to continuously do DNS lookup 
rather than cache the IP.
