Currently I have miniupnpd configured to use interfaces by interface name. If the external interface has a dynamic IP and the IP changes, does it matter to miniupnpd or do I have to restart it?

The same question goes for the LAN interfaces in the case that the user reconfigures one, changing the IP. Does miniupnpd need restarting?

miniupnpd should detect WAN interfaces changes.
But this code is very OS dependend, so it might not work for you. In that cas you can send the SIGUSR1 signal to miniupnpd to force the IP address change notification.

But miniupnpd is not designed to handle LAN address changes. In that case miniupnpd need restarting
