There are only three ways MAAS can express an IP address:

 * DHCP
 * DNS
 * cloud-init

In other words, whatever else is true of the network / IP model:

 * at the end of the day we need to write a DHCP server config
 * we also need to write a correct DNS config
 * and when a machine boots we can tell cloud-init some stuff that might
affect /etc/network/

In addition, APIs might exist to let people query and modify the model.
