I assume you have a way of notifying the remote peer when the
local receive IP address changes? Otherwise, it won't know where
to send packets.
Also, I assume that it is not possible to set the "from" IP address in
transmitted packets so it is the same as the receive IP address?
(this is what happens on one way satellite links I have configured).
