Looks good ... (just hoiked it out of ports with
make configure as Im on a work machine and dont need it here)
Reads well, great examples within the code ans well as in the
support files.

Jay,
I'm on Comcast in MD, and my DHCP lease is a bit longer - on the order of 3
months. Not sure if that is because I am a holdover of @Home or what. Just a
note of caution, though. Comcast doesn't technically allow any kind of
server. They will tolerate SMALL servers that don't generate a lot

Don't forget to use something like:
send dhcp-lease-time 31449600
in your dhclient.conf to try to get a year's lease time up
front. Some servers wont give it to you, but you don't know
until you try...

(hate that mis-clicking action .. )
in the script you could easily set up a coupla lines to
update a external dynamic dns server with your
new ip number
