Comment:

 For the sake of discussion, I'd still be interested about using DNS
 instead of IP in "Public IP", as I do have dynamic IP...

 While I know there is STUN and other methods of looking up public IP, I'd
 still would like to see simple DNS name to replace raw IP-number... I do
 have dynamic IP and thus it changes for time to time and only this way I'd
 be both free of 3rd party "IP detection" system and have settings made
 once and be done with it...

 I see that developers aren't that eager towards this, but yet I see this
 one "perfect" option to implement...
