Yes, I think it's the answer that never comes back. But I thought this was
precisely the very purpose of the ip_dynaddr option, to allow the packet
source address to be rewritten when the link is up and before the packet is
actually sent. So I was expecting this option to solve this problem, which
is obviously not the case...
