So therefore your address will remain static until your PPP session dies and
restarts (somtimes weeks in between).

In fact this would happen so infrequently that I would be happy updating an
external DNS server with the new IP each time (scripted of course :) and setting
that A record to have a TTL of 10 seconds.

Tis not static, but good enough :)
