Yep.  It'll take care of that.

Here's a (edited) copy of the most recent message it sent me about it:

WARNING:  forcing update of XXXXXX.homeip.net from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX to 
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX; 28 days since last update on Tue Oct 31 01:06:37 2006.
SUCCESS:  updating XXXXXX.homeip.net: good: IP address set to 
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
