- With my laptop, I was constantly going from, work in [ PalmerstonNorth] to home to work in [Wellington] aswel as friends places and then I had two interfaces (Wireless and LAN) that would be connected. I was getting sick of problems with DNS hosts not working when I was local and the servers were now only accessible from internal IP with the DMZ setup. So I have setup this simple hack system (I will develop further if there is interest)

Just have the helpers invoke (or indeed, ''be'') the main update script.'' --AristotlePagaltzis
