[ale] Using HE's tunnel broker with a dynamic address

[Michael B. Trausch]

From their FAQ page at [0]:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. My IPv4 endpoint address is dynamic. Can I still create a tunnel?
   If yes, what do I need to do when my IP address changes?

A. Yes, you can still create a tunnel even if you are using a dynamic
   IPv4 endpoint address. If your IPv4 endpoint address changes, you
   can either login to the tunnelbroker.net page and update your IPv4
   endpoint address or use http://ipv4.tunnelbroker.net/ipv4_end.php
   which is designed to be used to update your IPv4 endpoint address.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you follow the link, it tells you how to actually do it; it's easily
done from a script as long as there is something like curl or wget
available on the command line.  In a worst-case scenario, one _could_
use nc or telnet...

This way you can tell your DHCP server to update your tunnel's endpoint
on their end.  You still have to worry about ensuring that it's updated
on your end, as well as ensuring that all of the other requirements are
met.
