true - the reverse lookup would not work.. that still requires the ability to take the IP address with you which leaves us back with changing the way the internet works at its core. The only way around that would be to have some way of broadcasting your dynamic dns identity rather than your IP address.

Dynamic DNS only solves the forward lookup problem, if you want to find your home server like you say.

If you wanted every site you visited to know who you were you would need more ISPs to let you set the reverse lookup to your own domain name - though this would talk 48 hours to change, so wouldn't be suitable for temporary connections.
