Okay, coffee's kicking it and I think I get this a little more. Of 
course, I could be wrong...

Check out DynDNS. I've used them for DNS and mail port altering services 
when I hosted my own site in-house (literally). Their support was always 
pretty good. When I get back to doing stuff this will be the first place 
I look for a solution.
