Host names, rather than host addresses, *might* be more typo-proof
(tcpdump-style capture filters, and Ethereal display filters, support
both names and addresses, assuming the DNS stars are properly aligned so
that the program can translate the address to a name), although there
is, for example, the risk of typing "www.whitehouse.com" rather than
"www.whitehouse.gov".  :-)
