Previously I mentioned that "Sometimes some external things need to be 
changed(not DNS related) or monitored when an IP changes"

I already have a plan for DNS to get updated using the RFC 2136 dynamic 
DNS feature of m0n0wall.  I just need to be emailed so that I can do 
some manual things which cannot be automated and have nothing to do with 
DNS.

If nobody else is interested in such a feature and because of that it 
would never be implemented I could setup a script to query DNS every so 
often to see when it changes but it would be nice to have the m0n0wall 
do it itself instead of relying on a server somewhere to monitor it.  I 
would think others might find it useful to be notified when their 
m0n0wall changes IP addresses.

I used to do this with my previous iptables system I had and it proved 
to be very useful when all your systems send you emails when their ISP 
given IP address changes.
