   I use http://freedns.afraid.org/ for all my DNS, and they have the ability to   
   change your IP on a given domain just by visiting a certain URL from the   
   server.  It may be a minor security risk, but I've setup a script to hit the   
   URL from home every hour so even if the home IP address changes the DNS will be   
   updated within an hour.   
      
   This thread started a few months ago, but I don't remember if I threw that in   
   there or not... but FYI if someone's looking for a simple solution for this.
