I use dyndns.org.
They offer a free dynamic dns service, and has been very stable for the
last couple of years.
You could register horde.dyndns.org, and run ddclient (wich is in
stable) to update dyndns's servers.
Then have a CNAME record for horde.dreamchaos.net pointing to
horde.dyndns.org.
There might be security issues with this setup, but my ADSL provider
only changes my ip when i reset my router. So the chance of takeover is
rather small.
