How about updating the URL instead:

This URL is too long for one line.
Besides this, it's nearly 8 years old and therefore not in any respect up-to-date (and if it's only in a web archive, it will never be updated).

"Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out
of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
"Only a promise," Lao Er said.

Just because it's old doesn't mean it's out of date. Have you read the webpage in question? The majority of the page simply explains what mobile-IP *is* on a primer level, and how it might be used. That hasn't changed.

That's a half-empty worldview. You should be saying "Yay! Since it's on the wayback machine, the URL will always be good!"
If this is really a problem, we could create a WikiPedia entry for it. However, the page is on the level of a long dictionary definition or an encyclopedia entry, and so it's not much more out of date than most RFCs, for example.
