Have you seen ddt.sourceforge.org? They have a nice system to provide
a FQDN to a machine with a dynamic IP address.

I think you are talking about "Windows Scripting Host" here. If so,
it is not a language but rather a specification that any language can
be made to meet, and Python can be used as a Windows Scripting Host
language (AFAIK).
The real trick is to try and get windows to execute some
program/script whenever you get an IP address. On Linux it would be
as easy as adding a script to /etc/ppp/ip-up for dialup connections or
adding an "up <command>" line to /etc/network/interfaces. I have no
idea how to do that in windows.
