Well, you could create a host-up script (in the same directory as the tinc-up
script) containing the following:

#!/bin/sh
file=/etc/tinc/$NETNAME/hosts/$NODE
grep -Fq "Address = $REMOTEADDRESS" $file && exit 0
echo "Address = $REMOTEADDRESS" >> $file

If a node becomes reachable, this script will check if the address which that
node currently has is already in the host config file, if not it will add it.
