A static IP address makes things a bit easier as well, though it's not
impossible to run a buildbot using a dynamic IP address assuming you use
dyndns.org or something similar to maintain the name-to-IP mapping.

I ran a Mac OSX buildbot for the community buildbots for awhile but never
did figure out at the time how to get it to fire up on reboot.  That was a
few years ago.  I think today that would easily be accomplished with an
@reboot crontab entry.  Dunno if that was available way back then, but it's
certainly supported on Mac OSX now.
