If you are running a DHCP client, then when your dynamic ipaddr
changes your ping will continue to succeed and you won't be able to
tell that anything has changed.  The better answer is to take control
of the software running on the gateway and just have a script *there*
watch for a ipaddr change.  OpenWrt FTW!
