Is there any possibility for a pool to track  ( or to identify) an Asic miner if the worker or IP address changes ?
I mean if I have an ASIC miner and want to give it to another miner , there is any possibility ( firmware Hardware or software ) for the pool to know that is my asic miner ?

This would mean that the pool software looks for information that's not relevant to them and, more important, the miner sends such (extra) information to the pool.
I don't see why could/would that happen, since a developer (and maybe a packet sniffer) could detect that and would lead to a scandal, if it's the stock firmware/software.
