Re: Polling IP on external nodes with dynamic IP not updating

Rob, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to enter a new ticket on a problem that exists since at least 2009 and that received a lot of complaints.

If you (or anyone else from Solarwinds) could tell me what is the current state of the problem, that would be awesome.

Apparently this is a well known issue: Dynamic node stops responding in NPM. Karlo.Zatylny responded it's been fixed in 9.5 - but then apparently it hasn't, but that there was a workaround:

1. To ensure the caption matches the DNS name,
   ...and/or
2. Disable reverse DNS lookup in NPM settings (source: Can a Dynamic DNS node be monitored?).

Elsewhere I read that neither workaround worked.
