i don't care if its recorded, i just want to know if my IP dynamically
updates b/c my isp does it, will SN know on the fly? or at all?
also, i wonder if after you setup and connect it just once to SN, it
keeps updating the IP, b/c it might... right? it is possible. if it
did, it could do my ddns idea. and since you can control the device
and connect to SN thru the website, i would think it does, (unless its
simply "hoping" you're at your last known IP).

but how do you know that after the initial setup that SB doesn't keep
updating SN with your IP, connected to SN or not?
not saying you're wrong, just curious how you know.

thx. i would love to be able to 24/7/365 track my ip by the simple
virtue of having a SB and having done the one time, initial connection,
with it updating the info ever after.
like i said, they could connect the info your SB gives to a sub domain,
and you could always access your IP, i think this is something they
should consider asap.
