Automated yes, but no need to embed it in FNP/fred. There are lots of
ways to check your IP, first and foremost most dhcpcd's support
running a script if your IP changes (and I assume something similar is
possible if the NAT box is running NT/2000?), you can periodically
(and automatically, out of cron or something) connect to a remote host you 
have an account on and check your IP from there. Also, googling for
"What is my ip" returns a scary number of sites whose only purpose in
life appears to be to tell you your IP.
