The SN servers "know" your IP whenever your SB is connected to SN -
they have to in order to be able to establish a connection. Whether
that information is recorded in any meaningful way I have no idea.

The SB can be in one of four states:
1. Connected to Slimserver ("on" or "off")
2. Connected to Squeezenetwork ("on" or "off")
3. Not on a network
4. Physically powered down (power disconnected)
Only number 2 involves a connection to Squeezenetwork (or indeed
anywhere in the outside world) and that's the only state in which the
SN servers would have your IP. It doesn't matter whether the player is
"on" or "off" as all that affects is the screen brightness.

That's actually a pretty good idea :) An interesting extra service SD
could offer for little or no cost. Of course it would only work while
your SB was connected to SN, but still fun.
