Actually I'm using hooks in devd(8) like:

$ cat /usr/local/etc/devd/tun6.conf
notify 0 {
        match "system"          "IFNET";
        match "subsystem"       "tun6";
        match "type"            "LINK_UP";
        action "/usr/local/etc/devd/tun6.sh $subsystem $type";
};

$ cat /usr/local/etc/devd/tun6.sh
#!/bin/sh
#
echo `date`: $0 $* >> /tmp/devd.out

(
  sleep 30 ;
  echo Doing: /etc/rc.d/sendmail onerestart >> /tmp/devd.out ;
  /etc/rc.d/sendmail onerestart ;
)

exit 0

for each interface which might come up; but I was thinking that
there must be a more general solution in sendmail or DNS itself;

in any case, thanks for your idea;

No. See netiquette RFC: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html
