 Replying to [comment:3 cohosh]:
 > I don't completely understand the details of this ticket, but it seems
 to be concerning the fact that we only have a single snowflake bridge, the
 domain of this bridge is hard-coded into snowflake proxies, and that the
 bridge has a fixed IP address that doesn't change?

 > With respect to bridge(s) that have static, fixed IP addresses, can you
 state more clearly what kind of problem you are trying to solve? For
 example, from a censorship perspective, blocking the bridge IP address
 shouldn't cause problems for snowflake since clients connect through the
 bridge to proxies. If we're worried about a takedown request of the bridge
 by the jurisdiction in which it is located, I'm not sure how a rotating IP
 will solve that problem without also changing its jurisdiction (which
 might be helped by running more than one bridge)?
 He's talking about snowflake proxies and not the hardcoded bridge, he's
