[NTLUG:Discuss] Dynamic IP and Website

I have set up a website on my home box, using http://hn.org as the Domain Name 
Server.  This is a FQDN (www.cfgraf.com), not a "Vanity Account" (like 
cfgraf.hn.org would be).  Of course my IP is dynamic, changing about once a 
week.  I know that I can get a "Vanity Account" from hn that I can forward my 
FQDN to, and that that would keep the site available all the time (as hn runs 
a script to update the IP of the Vanity Account periodicly).  What I am 
wondering is if anyone has been able to write a script to update the regular 
account when the IP changes?  I already have a script in cron that sends me 
an email when my IP changes, but surely there is a way to update the account 
at hn using lynx and grep.  Has anyone tried this?
