Sure... I'm almost positive there are ports available that do that sort of thing, I just wrote my own :) I have 2 Perl scripts that do exactly what you want. (well almost)... One sits on the client and runs ifconfig -L <device> to a text file about every 10 to 20 minutes. The text file is then parsed and if the IP address is different from the most recent one, it sends it to the server. The server runs another script every 5 minutes and if it finds an IP address, it then parses that, and updates a db entry in the namedb database and sends an ndc restart to named. A bit crude, but it works, and I've been using it for about 2 years now...
