Eric: How much control do you have where your site is hosted?  My setup was
fairly simple, I have 2 cgi scripts on my server, the first one I hit with
wget from cron ever few minutes:
 wget -O - [#web address here#] > /dev/null

When this script gets hit it updates a file with my IP, then I have the
other script setup so it redirects traffic from mythtv.mywebaddress to the
IP of my mythbox.

You could easily accomplish the same thing using FTP instead.  If you can
run Perl scripts on your site, I can hook you up with the scripts that I
used.
