If the one end of your DCOM connection is to be hosted at an ISP, there
is a good chance that the ISP has additional charges for a "live"
address (non-NAT).  If the ISP is handing out non-RFC1918 addresses to
everyone who comes in, they will have a much harder time getting
additional address space from ARIN when they need to expand.
