	The one person I know who is hosting a quake server on his
cable modem simply has some sort of script set up.  Any time he loses 
his connection and has to get a new IP adress assigned it sends a message
over to his friends domain name server and it updates the name it servers.
His friend also has the domain name server set up so that other machines 
wont cache the adress for more than 15(?) minuets... Anyhow it seems to
work quite well for what he is doing.
