Description
### Description
I'd like my Linodes and my home system to automatically update their A and AAAA records in my domain when rebooted or receiving a new address via DHCP. An example script to do that would be most helpful. Perhaps added after the other examples in the README. An example with "[remote_addr]" would be ideal, but it's not clear how to get the library to choose between IPv4 and IPv6 to update the A vs AAAA record.

Research direction
Start with the existing examples in the README and inspect how the library updates domain records. Clarify how an example should handle A versus AAAA records and the [remote_addr] placeholder; done means a README example that covers reboot or DHCP address updates for both address families.
