The server is only used every 20 minutes. So the connection probably
dies upon its next use.

The only thing thats affected by this is sharing files. Other clients
won't get your new IP for the next 20 minutes from a server. Source
propagation between client will still work though.

Maybe changing client_ip should do that or resent its client info to
all conected servers (and thereby triggering a reconnect). No reason
to not tell the servers about a new client_ip.
