setup openvpn with your dyndns as VPN client
that way you have a fixed IP

besides it solves the IP problem zone transfers are more safe
because they are encrypted and can't get mangeled by broken
crap like cisco routers doing DNS ALG

look at the archives, i had recently the fun that a cisco
router between master/slave instisted to manipulate zone
transfers and set every CNAME a zero TTL
