i probably missed where someone undoubtedly pointed this out earlier -- but
for systems with dynamically assigned IPs, i think that a service like
dyndns.org seems to be the way to go. i just turned it up for my cable
modem, and i'll likely be using it to solve a dynamic dns problem for
a project i'm doing for a client right now.
you're still not going to get matching reverse lookups for destination
sites with particularly anal MTA configurations, but that seems to be
pretty much a lost cause. i don't even have the beginnings of an answer
for that.
