[clug-talk] IPCop Red interface ip address renewal

Hello all
    I have been asked to create a firewall for a small lodge out of 
town.  Their high speed internet is supplied via satalite (if I remember 
correctly), and all of the black box routers that they have tried have 
had to be reset 2 or 3 times a day over the last 2 weeks.  I was looking 
at IPCop for this purpose, but have a single question.
Will IPCop will automatically detect if the IP address of the red 
interface changes, and update itself, or will  a manual action be 
required to re-connect to the internet?  This will be a low volume 
connection (might have up to 5 computers connected to the green nic), 
but it would be best if IPCop could automatically update when the red 
interface IP address changes.

    Any suggestions / comments are appreciated

Thanks

Darcy
