- Cleaned up the IP sync code to...

- Use charif_sendallwos rather than manually altering the buffers of each server.
- Use the id variable for identifying current char-server instead of scanning the connected servers for it (it's doing the same work twice)
- Added config setting sync_ip_interval to specify how long to go before updating ip. Defaults to 0 (disabled)
- Sending ip update packets will only be done when the ip changed now.
- Removed dns_str variables, and now char_ip_str/login_ip_str/map_ip_str will hold the unresolved dns address (as these variables have no use otherwise)

 IF YOU HAVE A WORKING AND TESTED BUGFIX PUT IT INTO STABLE AS WELL AS TRUNK.
 
 2006/05/27
+	* Cleaned up and optimized the IP sync code. New login_athena config
+	  setting sync_ip_interval specifies how often to sync the ip. The default is
+	  0 (disabled). [Skotlex]
 	* Added mapflag "loadevent", now load-map script events will ONLY trigger
 	  on maps with this mapflag on, rather than every map. [Skotlex]
 	* High Jump can now be used in all versus maps. [Skotlex]
