Over here, DSL has dynamic IPs, changing with every reconnect and at
least every 24 hours (forced dis- and reconnect by the provider).
Multiply that with 40 pfSense installations, some of them on flaky DSL
lines that reconnect more than once a day, and you can figure out why
I'm currently not a friend of this feature. ;-)

Thank you for explaining how I can disable it on my own.

Regarding the feature request, I'll see if I can make do with an
<earlyshellcmd> in my config files to disable that again upon each
upgrade. If it starts bothering me too much, or if I get around to it,
I'll look through the bugtracker and file a feature request if there
isn't one already.

Again, thanks for your help and your professional, helpful attitude in
your replies. :-)

-Stefan
