 That's what happens to the sbws scanner.

 But what happens to sbws if the bandwidth HTTPS server's IP address
 changes?
 If the IP address is in the scanner's config, then the server becomes
 unreachable by the scanner.
 If the DNS name is in the scanner's config, then the scanner should be
 fine, as long as the DNS is updated, and the scanner checks DNS regularly.

 So let's say:
 * a fixed IP address or DNS name
