"Try connect to your service on a dynamic IP after it has changed and for whatever reason your dynamic dns update has failed."
Compared to a PPP session with an ISP, dynamic DNS is a walk in the park and you can have multiple ones if it is that important. You could even have a mobile phone SMS an IP out.
DNS is seriously resilient to outages. Yes CF, Goog n co have all had outages but the beauty of DNS (and a pain at times if mismanaged) is TTL. Don't set all your records with a TTL of 300. I run quite a few DNS servers - Windows, BIND, PowerDNS and others, not to mention rather a lot of unbound and dnsmasq resolver/forwarder thingies.
Evaluate your requirements, evaluate the resiliency and functionality of the available technologies, evaluate your own skills and take appropriate action ... for you. That works at home just as well as at work.
You may find that you are running your own DNS server (or three) ...
- yardstick 4y agoSounds like a like of work and a lot more failure points that just having a static IP.
