OK... i wrote a patch for todays CVS. With this patch applied you can
set the IP in gnunet.conf to a hostname (eg IP = mybox.dyndns.org).

It's the first time i use diff/patch, so i hope i've done it right ;) I
created the patch with

  LC_ALL=C TZ=UTC0 diff -Naur <cvs dir> <dir with my changes> > patch

In your GNUnet directory

  patch -p1 < patch 

should work.

Sorry for the german but it's not really worth to translate it.
