What is the role of --pool-relay-ipv4 in the stake pool certificate

Staking & Delegation Operate a Stake Pool
1

As the name suggests this would be the IP4 address for the relay. Is it really so that the stake pool certificate must be associated with a specific IP?

Could this for example also be a DNS entry like: relay01.astorpool.org

Does this have to be aligned with the IP or DNS entry that the topology updater publishes?

It can be DNS entry, as it is easier to manage additions or swapping of machines behind the DNS, without having to send a new certificate with fixed relays IP.

if you need 2 relays, dont forget to have 2 entries :
–single-host-pool-relay example01.domain.com
–pool-relay-port xxxx
–single-host-pool-relay [example02.domain.com
–pool-relay-port xxxx \
