Excuse my ignorance, but what does the IP have to do with that?
The phone line connects to the modem, which connects to the PORT.
Therefore, the PORT is what you want to manage access of, NOT the IP.
In your scenario, what about static IPs? Starts to fall short. :(

I would think that adding the check of IP is more of a uneeded
check, than anything useful, since you still have to check the
NAS/Port combo as well.
