> If you have ever ordered pizza from a static IP

Most homes in the USA do not have static IPs. So this approach to mapping would not work.




Cable IPs, while assigned by DHCP, change incredibly rarely in many or most areas, and are thus effectively static.

I've seen my exact address filled in on a pizza site I had never before visited.


It would work well enough for those who just want a door to knock down. The public draws its own conclusions about those who use this sort of service for this sort of purpose.
