I have a number of internal and external dependencies that rely upon this IP address. For the most part, I've not had to change these much - however, when it happens, it's a PITA.
- ipfw rules - mysql tables - apache configuration - /etc/hosts - named.conf (possibly)
and more. Including needing to update external DNS, which could be addressed by using a dyndns.org name, and set your DNS to that hostname.
I could whip up a script using M4 to dynamically change the ipfw rules and point /etc/rc.conf to a different script.
I'm curious if anyone else has come up with a nifty scheme to make this less painful when it happens -- other than the obvious idea of getting a provider that supports fixed IP addresses ;-)
Someone suggested to me the GNU CFEngine, too -- seems a bit complex for this task, though.
Thanks...
