My wireless router does that, but it's internal.  The internet-facing router is a crappy one I got for free. 

Some day I might figure out how to do a PPPoE connection in Linux and put my box straight into the modem, then I can update DynDNS no problem.

No, but running MySQL Queries all day takes CPU usage.

Not enough to matter with a website this size...

Yeah, it's not a significant amount. 

On a sidenote, I was also looking at commercial packages from my ISP, which would allow me to do static ip, email, proper DNS, and other stuff.  I don't want to commit to anything yet, but it looks promising.
what kind of cost difference is that....

Well, I'd likely get it in addition to my current internet, I wouldn't want my family on the same static ip.  I'd probably be looking somewhere between $40 and $100/month.

40-100, big price range there......why such a large range?

Mostly because I didn't feel like looking up the actual costs, which this link might get you to:
http://www.mts.ca/portal/site/mts/menuitem.a275cbc6dbb0d4e50e14081031248a0c/?vgnextoid=dce8a2a2bfec1010VgnVCM1000000408120aRCRD&vgnextchannel=a0693487ce191010VgnVCM1000000408120aRCRD&vgnextfmt=default&section=4

They demand a 5-year contract, and I doubt I'll be living here for that long, so I'm going to put it off for now.

Interesting, those "business" lines are worse then what I have now.
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

Yeah, they're equal to what I have now for download speed, and iirc they have higher upload speed.  Also having a static ip and no blocked ports would be nice.

Yeah... but I have that now.  MTS is a terrible company.  :)
