+# On linux systems, you can automatically update your DNS any time an
+# interface comes up by adding an ifup-local script that invokes this
+# python code.

+# E.g. on my systems I have this

+# #!/bin/sh
+#
+# DEVICE=$1
+#
+# if [ "X${DEVICE}" == "Xeth0" ]; then
+# IPADDR=`LANG= LC_ALL= ifconfig ${DEVICE} | grep 'inet addr' |
+# awk -F: '{ print $2 } ' | awk '{ print $1 }'`
+# /usr/local/sbin/ddns.py $IPADDR
