Dynamic IP implies your server is on a DHCP or BOOTP type connection, which does not infer that the machines associated public DNS record for it's current IP address will be constant. If your hostname changes each time the IP address changes, then you will have to reconfigure the server every time, and all the existing users will be invalid, as they now have the wrong hostname.

Dynamic DNS, as you and other state, should work just fine since the hostname doesn't change with the IP address.

What would be the difference between dynamic IP's and dynamic DNS. If you utilize dynamic DNS, haven't you solved the problem? A protocol that works on DNS can only be as dynamic as the DNS records it relies upon.

hello, i was wondering what is wrong with the protocol that it can't take dynamic IP's ? Jabber server, thus moving Jabber closer to a peer-to-peer model (currently this would require each device to have its own fully qualified domain name). I really would like to implement a p2p jabber network.
