+# Use a TSIG-signed DDNS update to update our hostname-to-address
+# mapping.
+#
+# usage: ddns.py <ip-address>
+#
+# 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
+#	fi

+# in /etc/ifup-local.
