Well, do you know if you'll get different addresses often? 
Many ISPs give dynamic IP addresses, but you actually stay on 
the same address for months, which makes it a rather small 
problem. I haven't had a change in address in over 6 months myself.

And even if you do, with dynamic DNS you still have a 
hostname that stays fixed.   All you need is for the things 
that connect to you, or check your address, to be able to 
deal with names.

This is how the Multi-Watch hook into Multinet works.
