 Note that every configured parent in a chain increases the check count
 threshould by one.
 
+The host address can be updated dynamically. Give extra parameter `resolve`
+with a resolvable name:
+
+    / tool netwatch add comment="notify, hostname=example.com, resolve=example.com";
+
+But be warned: Dynamic updates will probably cause issues if the name has
+more than one record in dns - a high rate of configuration changes (and flash
+writes) at least.

 Also notification settings are required for e-mail and telegram.
