You only need to do that if browsers are actually sending
"Host: 1.2.3.4" in the HTTP header.  If they are sending
"Host: www.your.domain", then you just need a symlink for that name
(which presumably will not change when your address changes).

You don't need to do that.  publicfile's httpd is started by tcpserver
for each connection, so it will always see the latest contents of
/public/file/.
