We've not found the right solution for this. In particular, when the IP changes, how should it work in PingPlotter? Should the target history be assciated with the old IP address, and we start a new history with the new IP? Should the IP address just be changed and the history all stays with the final destination (no matter what IP it has)?
How would you know the final target's IP changed? What kind of an indicator in the software would be appropriate?
What if the target you enter is one that has a round-robin DNS resolution, where every time you resolve, you get a different IP (ie: load balancing)? The way we do it now, this works easily and well - but if we were resolving often and got different IPs every time, the collected data could be totally meaningless.
If anyone has some good solutions to these problem - that makes sense and doesn't cause a lot of complexity for the end user, we'd welcome the feedback. Unfortunately, the problem is not remedial to solve, so we've not implemented anything yet.
