I omitted that because it seemed like an unnecessary complication to the
discussion. You are, however, absolutely correct that it is possible.
I really should have tossed "(in general)" in there somewhere.

Yup, that's another scenario where a machine could change IP addresses.
It's pretty common, however, for DHCP servers to give the same IP
address back to a given host (identified by MAC address) when it asks
for a new one.

I missed the beginning of this thread, but just looking at the subject
line, I should mention one other concept. Even with geolocation
databases, all you really know from the client's IP address is where
egress router is (assuming the client is behind a NAT or something
similar). For example, I used to work at a place that had a corporate
VPN. I'm located in New York, but when I was on the VPN, to an external
web server, my IP address looked like it was in Massachusetts because
that's where corporate headquarters were and thus where the VPN
connected to the outside world. So, if I was on the VPN and went to
moviephone.com, it would show me what movies were playing in the
Hopkinton area.
