The {interface}.exe files in /etc/dhcpcd/ and e-smith then calls the
ip-change event. You don't need to touch anything in /etc/dhcpd - we've
already done that for you.

Why are you doing it the hard way? :-)
The scripts in /etc/e-smith/events/ip-change are called when your external
IP changes. No calculation required. The new external IP can be retrieved
with
/sbin/e-smith/config get ExternalIP
in shell. There are plenty of Perl examples in that directory to show you
how to get direct access to the config database.
