I have replied to Adam off-list about this but let me say publicly that I
don''t believe that this can be solved in the init scripts in any
general way.

If I were trying to solve this problem on my own firewall, I would create an
ipset to represent the addresses to which northerner.no-ip.info resolves.
The script that currently restarts the firewall would then simply have to
update the ipset.
