But since it's not changing on the local host, you can't just
automatically hook it in (as is extremely easy with the ISC's DHCP
client). You'd need to retrieve the info page, parse it for the
address, and compare it to last time. I'd probably use some combination
of curl/grep/awk/sed in the shell and store the address in a text file
under /var/run. Should be just a few minutes' work, and then schedule
cron to run that every 5 minutes or so.
