Have you checked out http://www.dyndns.org or http://www.ddns.org at all? I
would recommend getting a dynamic host like you.dyndns.org so you can update
it and everything. Some have linux clients I believe. Also, I just had this
problem again and fixed it by changing the servername variable to my static
host. This is in the httpd.conf file and looks like:
ServerName your.server.here.net
You *might* be able to replace the server name with *.*.*.* IP address, but
I'm not sure if that will be accepted. This is a pretty shallow way anyway,
but you can try if all else fails.

Do you have the hostname in your /etc/hosts ?
