I cannot say yet if it is better. 
I made my first proposal for the bug 77862 with the notifier. It seems to me to 
be a problem that one get a message only after 60 seconds. Is it right?
Then, a got some minor problems, the maintainer whishes some changes. It leads 
me to this *different* approach, which works.
It is still an unanswered question: what happens if the IP-change occurs 
*during* a write/read call to the IP-Address. The laps of time might be 
little, also the probability this occurs. 
Have you an answer for me?
