You said 'the first connection will be dropped'; it sounds like you expect to have a persistent, long lived connection to the client. This could be a problem unless the client is using a backend to perform all the API calls to your servers.
I don't think that backends are guaranteed a permanent, stable IP address, but it may remain the same for the duration of its up-time, which might be good enough for your purposes. It is also not a unique IP, so depending on how large your client base is, you may have to factor that in as well. On Friday, June 22, 2012 2:57:46 PM UTC-4, veggieCoder wrote: > > Hello.
