This is great in theory, but in my experience it can take as much as three
or four days for an update in DNS to percolate through nameserver caches.
If you the dynamic IP address changes more than once a week then they will
be dependant on very fast propagation (which is often but by no means
always the case) to make it usable. . . Just a thought.
