If you ask the UK Prime Minister where does he live, he would answer "Prime Minister's residence". "Prime Minister's residence" here is exactly an address --- 10 Downing street.

Yes, but I genuinely misunderstood. I mistakenly thought there was a one to one relationship between IPs and domains, but it seems that the system is rather more complicated than that. Mind you there is little indication the current system is in anyway optimal, so who knows what the situation will be in the future, but for IPv4 the answer to how it works is clearly, "Well, not like that!"
