Comment:

 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?

 There's a possibly related ticket to running more than one snowflake
 bridge: #28651

 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)?
