Re: 'masking' or 'hiding' am ip address from a web browser

At the risk of stating the obvious, how are people going to find your 
web app if you don't use DNS?????  The whole point behind having 
www.google.com or what ever is that you use DNS to translate that to 
an IP address.  Security through obscurity???
