If you mean your internet IP, I use no-ip.com names. Seems to be reliable and quick to update (60 sec DNS cache expire). They have Unix binary source that can update your name(s) and can group names together, so one contact updates all names in the group (virtual web hosting, etc.). It can be run once automatically from /etc/ppp/ip-up (or ip-up.local) whenever a ppp or pppoe connection comes up (or probably from dhcp scripts for cable modem), or as a deamon if you are behind router/proxy with unknown internet IP (grabs IP you connnect from).
Although, I personally hacked the firmware of my Dlink DI-704 gateway so I can monitor my adsl IP from a Perl daemon script and just post updates when it changes.

It is my experience too. Just note that you don't have to take no-ip.com suffix, there's a selection at http://www.no-ip.com .

Yep. That's what I do. You can run the daemon and relax. If you are curious, this is the site http://ratnaweera.no-ip.com
