Do I understand correctly then when your isp/home address changes your

broadcasts its domain new address to the internet ?
It doesn't have to be on the router. You can set up a hook in Debian
to run an arbitrary command whenever your IP address is changed by
DHCP.
This hook receives the old and new IP addresses, and some other things,
as environment variables. It's about 3 lines of code to set it up. No
parsing of the output of any ip or ifconfig command is needed.

I'll have a read but there must be something I don't understand.
Thought there was a hierarchy of domain names mapped to ipaddresses that
all the different servers can query as to where something is.
