[Cryptography] Fast handling of IP Address changes for HTTPS

[Dave Horsfall]

On Sat, 30 Dec 2017, Bill Stewart quote (I lost the original):

I'm baffled.  Does the OP not have static IP?  I got shifted over to the 
NBN (fibre all the way, not the crappy copper junk) in February and my 
address has always been static (although it costs me AU$10/m).  Before 
that I was on ADSL2+, again with a static IP (the same one).

Oh, and I've been running a home mail/web server for many years (it used 
to be on a nailed-up PPP dialup); our national telco (Telstra; fondly 
known as T$) allows it (but I suppose resellers may not).
