Michael,
loop_on_init only affects how an error in the driver is handled on startup.
Normally, if an error is encountering when weewx is starting up
("initializing"), the program exits. The assumption is that the user has a
configuration problem, so there is no point in trying the same thing
over-and-over again.
However, if loop_on_init is set to true, then weewx will restart from the
top and keep trying.
In either case, once a successful startup is achieved, if an error occurs,
weewx will restart from the top.
On to your WLIP problems. The Davis serial protocol is very "chatty," with
lots of state transitions. This makes it very difficult to run it over a
WAN. It should work just fine with either static or dynamic IP assignments.
However, it will be very sensitive to firewall settings.
I do not own an IP logger, so it's very hard for me to debug them remotely.
