If i have my NS in my network, which is 'ILNP enabled' (if there would
be such a thing), I think Michael's question is ... how do I tell DNS
where my NS is if my NS is moving and doesn't have a single long-lived
stable address ?

Some of the answer may be: "Don't do that!", or "plan your moves
properly, follow rfcXXXX which shows steps and timing to migrate an NS
device/pair/set from network attachment point to network attachment
point".
