  But what if the IP was specified manually?  Then it was readded
 and reused by another creation?

  No.  In short the auto-addition was added because it could be
 useful, but deletion is a case that you'll have to handle yourself.

  Perhaps a cronjob that sees which IPs in a given range aren't
 allocated and rebuilds the ips.txt file.
