apt-get install whereami this can run shell commands/scripts based on your network location to set up your machine for whatever network you end up on. Generally, this is triggered by the presence of "link light", wireless access points, ip/mac addresses reachable etc, so this should suit you. But I do not think it will cover the corner cases where the remote service is re-started... Most of the stuff can be taken care of by DHCP itself, but if you want to e.g. change your default SMTP gateway, reconfigure local proxy, do custom "stuff", then whereami does come in handy.
