This is how I run my home system. I run a dynamic dns update program for when
my ip changes. Of course there's some latency while dns propogates around the
world but that's what I put up with for the lower cost of a personal
connection.
If your running a critical service then you shouldn't be relying on a dynamic
ip!
Didn't you say you had a static ip anyway?
