reconnect when changing network and DNS caching #336

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I use ConnectBot to establish an SSH tunnel to my router at home. When I'm  in 
the Internet the DNS name is resolved to the oficial IP-Adress 89.x.x.x. When 
im connected to my LAN via WLAN the hostname of my router is resolved to 
192.168.x.x.

When I'm at home and I change my network access from GPRS to WLAN then of 
course the connection is lost.

As I selected "Stay Connected" in the host settings I would expect that 
ConnectBot tries to reconnect to my router - now with the internal IP-Adress 
instead of the external one used via GPRS. But there is no reconnection at all. 
 (Reconnection works fine if I do not change my network access.)

If I try to reconnect manually the hostname is still reserved to the external 
IP-Adress unless I kill the ConnectBot task and restart the programm. I guess 
this is due to DNS-Caching.

Would it be possible to initiate a reconnect if the network is changed and 
additionally to deactivate DNS-Caching (e.g. as option in the host settings?

Im using Version 1.6.2 (r480 2010.02.12)

Thanks.
Stephan

Can you try this on the version from connectbot.org?
