I think what would be better for you is a dynamic dns system. I use myip.org and eyep.net. I wrote a small expect script to watch my /var/log/messages file, and if it detects that my IP address has changed then it contacts both eyep.net and myip.org (with perl scripts that are provided on their web pages) and tells them my new IP address. That way I can just do ordinary name lookups from the internet. Check out www.eyep.net and www.myip.org for more information. I use both of them in case one of them is down. And I know there are more dynamic DNS services out there .. those are just the two that I use.
