Sorry, I was being stupid.
I am actually running ddclient to send my IP address to
dyndns.com .
I guess I could look at the code for this
and run it to post the IP address to me.
You can probably get by with just changing /etc/ddclient.conf.
Uncomment the "#mail=root" line, and change it to mail the messages
to whoever you want. (Assuming you have outgoing mail set up.)
Configure the "use=" line to what ever you need on that machine, and
do not set up any dynamic DNS service to be updated.
I have not tried it, but it should work...
