Thank you for the advice...

It is not complicated ;)
And actually that was one of my initial variants.

As for security concerns.
remote system is well secured (actually it is sort of appliance).
I can use sudoers file and allow the user to execute scrip that has changes 
hardcoded... just IP will be variable (or even can be detected via SSH_CLIENT 
variable).
And in newer SSH implementation user can be chrooted :)

Adding daemon that periodically checks is adding additional delay...

I was thinking to add a web server that is pinged and executes a script, but 
found SSH will be more secure implementation.
