Why not use a Dynamic DNS client and set up a hostname on a free DDNS 
domain? That way you don't have to rely on a script like this, just use 
something that goes out and updates the DDNS server every day or twice a 
day or whenever the IP changes? noip.info is one of the DDNS systems I use 
and it's got it's own DDNS script which updates the DNS servers every time 
the IP changes, so you don't have to rely on email. :-)
