No, anything requiring publishing DNS records won't fly. OE is
*opportunistic*. It doesn't care about what the true identity of the opposite
party is. Any shmuck on dynamic IP should be able to use it instantly, with
no observable performance degradation, using a simple patch.

If it doesn't fit these minimal requirements, it will die, just the same way
FreeS/WAN did.
