that's not enough for dhcp. the address can changes whenever the lease
runs out. you also need to add the same command to a file in /etc/dhcpc.
have a look at your dhcp documentation or the Makefile from http://fwup.org/
which installs such a command in the right place. here's the relevant extract:
dhcp()
{
if [ -d /etc/dhcpc ]
then
for iface in $$UNTRUSTED_INTERFACES
do
reload /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-$$iface.exe
done
fi
}
where reload is another function that adds a command to the given file.
the file /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-$iface.exe will be executed when $iface
has an address change.
