Of course there is a need: when one is trying to connect to a server which is not mapped in DNS yet, when trying to connect from a machine without the ability to do DNS resolution, when trying to connect to a machine without having to rely upon a DNS map which may be under a different political situation, etc... Anyways, it would be difficult to imagine working effectively under this. I think the suggestion of "," as the separator is best.
