RE: OT: Dynamic DNS
The delay will be based on the Time To Live (TTL) that is set up for your domain. My personal domain is served by DynDNS and the TTL is four hours, so that is the more or less the longest time it would be wrong. I have used "ipconfig /flushdns" (or something like that) to clear my *local* dns cache and so it picks up the IP change right away. On Windows boxes you can download one of many little clients that keep your IP up-to-date. I use DeeEnEss. It has a setting to figure our your router's public IP without having to talk too the router itself (I think it goes out on the web to see what IP the request appears as). Very easy.

It worked flawlessly for about a year (and still probably would be working if my server were still up). All this was on a Linux server, so I don't know what kind of solutions are available for Windows platforms, but all the integration scripts were third party, so I'm sure there are plenty of solutions available.
