nsupdate-web
A PHP script for updating records in BIND name servers through a HTTP call. Nice if you have dial-up with dynamic IP address allocation. The necessary HTTP call from the client can be hand-crafted and piped to telnet or nc and is thus easy to get running on low-end hardware like the Linksys WRT54GL. I use this together with HTTP access control for added security.

Yahoo describes it as “Pipes is a powerful composition tool to aggregate, manipulate, and mashup content from around the web.” and it sure looks powerful.
