The version in lenny should rescan the interfaces every 5 minutes,
and it works in my case.  But there are cases it doesn't work
properly, like when using mdns that returns it can't find the host
when the network is not up yet.  There are also other open bug
reports for which I don't have enough information to know what
the problem really is.

Upstream is still working on things, and they just added a new
async resolver so that it can also update the IPs after it
has been running for a while.  I don't expect that version to be
release soon.

I'm planning on uploading a 4.2.6 version soon, we'll first
have to see how that behaves.
