Wouldn't it be more accurate to say an IP addresses is like a phone number?

The DNS phonebook analogy would mean France.com is the name and the IP is the phone number.

What was done would be equivalent to taking a man's name from him leaving him with only his phone number.

I'd say the domain is the phone number (the visible identifier used to contact him) and IP address is whatever internal IDs the operators use to route calls to whatever cellphone he happens to be using.
