Yes, no :)
Sorry, updated my post as it didn't seem to make much sense after I re-read it. Hopefully it makes a little more sense now.

now that you'rve updated your post - it sounds like the answer is "yes"..
it's a domain name that resolves to an IP ---- just not an internet domain - local to telco's network, and internal DNS...
so, it is an IP.

this is going in circles.

Well you couldn't nslookup 'live.vodafone.com' (the Vodafone APN) on your pc and stick that IP in your phones APN settings. If you knew the operators assigned IP address on their network for the APN that may work, but like I say I've never tried it.

sure you could :-) you'd just have to connect your PC via GPRS at the time of the lookup
:-P

Does anybody know what "official" APN's exist? I am aware live.vodafone.com is for WAP and had always used www.vodafone.net.nz as my APN for general data. I have since been told there is an APN for an actual internet IP rather than a NAT IP. Does anybody know if there is any truth to this and if so what it is? I've had several programs I haven't been able to run, probably because the NAT is blocking the ports.

You can use "internet" for a non-NAT address if needed. I would recommend not using it to avoid overload.
