My current blog has a custom url, and I would intend to get a custom url for the new blog as well. However, before I go purchasing another domain name I thought that I should check that a custom url will be sufficient for me to be able to use wordpress.com in China.

Also, if this won't help me to get around the firewall issue, would it help matters any if I were to start using wordpress.org?

WordPress.com is a cloud-based service between several servers spread throughout four datacenters.

Basically, depending on location, load, and other factors, you may be accessing a different server at a different datacenter (therefore a different IP) every time you load your blog.

I just spoke to our IT Administrator and he is wondering if we can get a list of the pool of IPs that are used? If so, can we be notified when they change?

We are willing to upgrade if that's what it takes to get this info.

My company is hoping to host our blog on WordPress.com but we need the site to have a static IP for firewall issues with our own servers. Is it possible to get the range of IPs WordPress.com has? If not, can we pay to have a static IP? Does WordPress.com support SSL?

Your best shot is to use the link maxmanx gave you in the other thread you posted.
