I changed my GoDaddy DNS address manually to confirm this great solution was working. Because TTL is one hour for my record, and because the updater does a DNS resolution to see if the configured IP matches the current IP, the utility doesn't recognize my manual IP update yet.
While I understand what's happening, and I understand that when the TTL expires, the utility will recognize my tweaked IP and update it, I'd think it would be good to have a Force parameter, or a "IF No updates.json, force update", etc to help override and perform the update, even if DNS is resolving to match the current IP.

That's a good idea, I'll add something in the UI (and future API) to force an update without comparing against the resolved ip. Thanks for proposing this!
