I do indeed have my router / dhcp server configured to assign a
specific IP address to the system, (recognized by its MAC address), as
you suggest. The problem is that I also access the same system over the
internet via dynamic DNS, and the public IP address (actually, that of
the router / gateway - I'm doing port forwarding) is not generally
known.
