You can use a DNS service like easyDNS.com if you don't have a pair of static IP addresses (I believe it will take 2 static IPs to run your own nameservers). Of course it cost a little more. Also you might call godaddy and ask if it is possible to route your domain to your single static IP address, I think they offer that option as an advance option. There might be additional charges there too...
