Linode dynamic DNS updater v0.0.3

# Linode dynamic DNS updater
# Version 0.0.3

#
# This Ruby script updates a Linode DNS listing with your public IP
# address. Think of it as a personalized dynamic DNS service. Throw
# it in a crontab or a system init script for +1 effectiveness.
#
# You only have to set two constants:
#
# RedirectDomain: This is the fully-qualified domain you wish to
# forward, of the form "[subdomain].[domain].[tld]". The script
# will automatically figure out the Linode DomainID and ResourceID
# for you! If the subdomain A record does not yet exist, it will be
# created. Nifty, huh?
#
# APIKey: This is the Linode developer API key from the 'my profile'
# link at the top-right of the Linode Manager. Mmm, copypasta.
#
# Enjoy!
