Yes. We'd have thousands of people screaming if that wasn't the case,
and I've never seen that not work. /etc/rc.newwanip runs when any IP
changes, which does the update. It's not shown there in your log. When
it runs it logs, not sure how much you snipped out.

It's possible if you're running some arbitrary snapshot it was broken
at that particular point in time, it does work on every stable release
for sure.
