Sure, but it amounts to the same thing.   This is trivial to do with  
the ISC DHCP client (which I presume is the one you use).   It's also  
trivial to do on Linux with dbus.   Mac OS X and Windows handle it  
differently still, but they already have mechanisms in place for doing  
this.   So the point is that if the will exists to make it happen,  
it's trivial to make it happen.
