Yes it is perfectly possible to use a hostname instead of an ip address. It does not matter if it is a dynamicdns name or a a static name. The times when you are likely to become unstuck is if for some reason the client pc cannot do a DNS lookup. Sometimes on corporate networks Internet access has to use a proxy server and it is the proxy server doing the DNS lookup rather than the workstation. I succesfully use dynamicDNS addresses everyday for my customers to be able to do a reverse connect using both the standard Ultra and Single Click

Redge - Yes Hostnames work and thats how most people do it if they are DHCP from thier ISP. (Thats how I do it )

I also believe this to be helpfull as a sidenote that the IP could be a DynDNS or noIP.com or otherwise Real hostname.
