	One approach is to create a master config file with some known
unique string where the IP should go. Something like:

	NameVirtualHost MY_IP_HERE:80

	Then when ever you know your IP changes, run a little shell script
that puts the new IP into place and restarts the server. This is very
untested:

#!/bin/sh

sed -e 's/MY_IP_HERE/$1/' apache.config.master > apache.config
apachectl restart
