No, that's way out of scope for udev.  The proper way to do *all*
of this is with a network management utility, e.g. NetworkManager.
NM in particular will handle all of this just fine.

That said, the easiest way to avoid all of the headache would be
to set up dnsmasq on the internal LAN there and let the laptop
issue a dhcp request *everywhere* -- that removes the human from
the equation.
