To make life a lot easier for you, just get your provider to enter  
YOUR details into the whois database - be that ARIN or RIPE, etc, for  
the netblock that they have assigned to you.

Where do these 'organisations' find out which blocks are dynamic  
anyway? - I didn't know there was a field anywhere in the whois  
records for that :-)....
