if i were you (no, i once were you :), i'd go for a dynamic
redirector.  like yi.org or dyndns.org.  there are many others:
googling for "dynamic DNS redirect" turned up 52.000+ hits, which
seemed valid.

or have a friend run gnudip.  gnudip2 has a sourceforge.net site.

but more important than that is a MX-backup, i guess ...
