Add scripts to automatically update the LAN DNS records.
./sbin/update-dns.sh may be called at regular intervals (one hour or so) via crontab. It will automatically detect: - its local host name (*.lan.dougal.aaltronav.eu); and - which IP has internet access, if any. Armed with that information and with the dynamic DNS API password stored in DYNDNS_PASSWD in ~/.dougalrc, it will update the relevant DNS record. For this to work, the first `lan.dougal` hostname in the Nginx configuration must be the one that is set up for dynamic update. Other `lan.dougal` hostnames should be CNAME records pointing to the first one.
