[wp-hackers] Keep local DB in sync with remote DB

Something like:
$my_ip = getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP");
$machine_ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

if ($my_ip == $machine_ip) {
// define 'siteurl' and 'home'
};

Would this work? How would I define 'siteurl' and 'home' from inside the
wp-config.php?

Many thanks,
Alex
