Is there a specific reason why you have to restart sshd after you
restart/change network services? I don't know about ntpd and cupsd
because I start them only in some places, but I have sshd running all
the time (with RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="lo" in /etc/conf.d/rc) it works
correctly (it listens on 0.0.0.0 so any ip changes don't affect it).
I suppose cupsd and ntpd should be the same (well maybe they would have
to be configured to listen on 0.0.0.0, if they are listening on the ip
from an interface by default...)
