A bit late on this, but you can setup dhcpcd to execute a script when a
machines ip is updated. Just add "-c /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.exe" to your
dhcpcd_eth0="" variable in /etc/conf.d/networks. Then every time dhcpcd
receives an update it will run the script dhcpcd-eth0.exe with the path
to the new info file and some other parameters (they're in the man
page).
The info files are setup as VAR="value" so you can just source $1 in the
script to get the new info, then you can do things like:
if [ ${DHCPSHADDR} = "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" ]; then
#mount nfs shares/samba shares here
fi
Just put your dhcp servers mac address in for "XX:XX..." and it will run
the code whenever eth0's ip is modified by dhcp. There are a few
caveats, but that is the basic idea. If anyone has questions, let me
know and I'll write up something with more in depth examples.
