I would suggest that once MAAS "owns" a machine, i.e. MAAS has PXE
booted the machine itself (credentials work), it is given a name and
static IP address which does not change unless edited by the user (it
should be possible for the user to put it on a difference, unused IP
address in the static range). Renaming the machine would update DNS,
editing the IP would update DNS.

This allows a user to "ping" a machine and see that it is off.
