How much bandwidth does this site serve out on average anyways?
I've never checked, but likely not much for the site. I'm more worried about my family's usage.
iago, Google for inadyn. It's a bit of a pain to set up, but once you do that, just run it in a screen and it'll check your external IP every ~10 minutes (configurable) and update if needed.
Running it in a screen is eww. Doesn't it have daemon mode? Plus, the name sounds way too much like "Initech", and that's not cool. And if you don't know what "Initech" is, you don't watch enough movies.
Some day, I'll bring my server to Calgary. It's just a matter of driving from Winnipeg to Calgary, since I can't really take it on a plane with me and I wouldn't want to check it (or ship it).
