I'm not sure I understand why. This callback should only be called on new
connects and surely you need to do this check thing on each new connect since
you cannot know if the remote host has changed?

If you only wanted it done on the first invoke, couldn't you simply achieve
the same thing then by simply set a variable to a value and then check that
value on forthcoming invokes?

I'm sure I've missed something, I just can't see what!
