    Hi Seth,

    I use ipcheck.py. It checks the output of 'ifconfig' to see if the
    public IP address has changed. I run it periodically from a cron
    script. It was a little painful to set up (entirely my own fault), but
    now that it's working it's essentially hassle-free. It handles both
    Dynamic DNS and Static DNS. Last I checked it was listed on
    www.dyndns.org and had a fairly high user-satisfaction score.
