man dhclient-script

and my enter and exit scripts below from my home boxen


NB I use ddclient from ports to update dns stuff at dyndns.org and the
example.com should be replaced with your domain name in the enter-hooks
script.

These are not totally automatic in what they do, as I prefer to 'see and
know'
certain changes from my ISP so that is the reason for the email
setup....
