Issue a warning when IP doesn't correspond to the address

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First, I would like to say thanks for this great extension. 

I'm not sure if you are taking requests, but here's a function that would
be interesting if implemented. I would like to be able to link an url and
an IP address so that when I'm browsing the website, the extension would
issue an alert if the IP address is not the one I inserted. Is this even
possible?

Nice idea, and not extensively complicated.

Could no be available on all sites/addresses, rather chosen sites only.
Add an option to the status bar to 'verify this address', this creates a local 
lookup table of IP to url (would need the ability for multiple IPs to url).
Then alert if IP does not match listed URL.

Useful for banks and such.

A better way to get this done is DNSSEC.  Using a DNSSEC resolver, you know 
you're getting the right IP address.  Using the DNSSEC Validator plugin you can 
see if the site you are presently visiting has DNSSEC enabled and if the DNS/IP 
data is validated by the signatures in the zone.

That's one of the big TODO items, to get DNSSEC status in showip. But currently 
time is very limited on my side.
