Something happened to my Internet connection this evening while I was away. When I came back, I called the ISP, and they got it working again. However, once reconnected, my computer got a brand-new IP address assigned on a net I didn't know belonged to them. Shortly afterward, inadyn noticed the change and updated the A RR at dyndns.org to reflect the new address. Soon after that update, tor noticed the change and issued the following pair of messages:
Mar 01 23:29:57.619 [notice] Your IP address seems to have changed to 24.1.225.89. Updating.

I'm running 0.2.2.7-alpha on FreeBSD 7.3-PRELEASE. Although it was operating as a relay over the weekend, I've swapped torrc files and SIGHUPped tor, so that it closed the ORPort and is now running just as a client. Does anyone have any clue why these messages are being issued? Should I just shut it down and restart it? Scott Bennett, Comm.
