No, this is not the case for my ISP. They register the MAC of the 
cablemodem to make sure nobody else will use your account.
When I change the device that gets the public WAN IP just have to 
restart the cablemodem.

Maybe you got my issue wrong: My m0n0wall will receive it's public IP 
via DHCP just fine, but after running all the day it will lose that IP 
around midnight.
