Ah.  I had assumed that some sort of internal UID was used to identify
nodes.

Does tinc break if the two ends of the connection disagree about the
name?  For example if my old hub was called "hub" and I told my new
hub it was called "new-hub", would clients that that tried to connect
to "hub" using a DNS name which now points to the new hub fail to
connect?
