get the device to tell you that its IP has changed? |

I use a linux box behind an old DSL300 for the above that extracts the |
| 14 |
IP number from the interface connected to the DSL300 every 60 seconds. |
| 15 |
If its changed, this triggers an update to dyndns (via ezupdate), |
| 16 |
restarts the webserver, firewall, asterisk etc with the new IP and |
| 17 |
uploads a simple html file to my webspace on my ISP as a fallback. |
| 18 |
dyndns has proven very reliable for changing IP's - basicly "just works" |

- for ~4 years! |

I presume OpenWRT can run scripts to do something similar? |
