Yeah, there are scripts that do that already... which might be fine if
you are running an ftp server for your friends but it is impractical to
run a site that gets any kind of traffic like that... 
you can also get a dynamic hostname... dyndns.org for example will give
you a hostname and scripts that will update their DNS when your IP
changes so that when it does, your hostname will still remain the same
and you won't have to notify anyone... but a lot of ISPs are filtering
http now anyway...
