Correct.  In addition to the dynamic addressing issue already referenced, using 
'best effort' public Internet connectivity between RD hosts will be likely to 
cause you problems due to dropped UDP packets.

If provisioning a business-class network is not an option, then your best bet 
may be to employ a TCP-based tunnel between the two systems across the 
unreliable network.  This will make overall latency somewhat worse, but will at 
least solve the dynamic addressing and dropped packet problems.

Cheers!
