Well, not exactly. You just need to set the TTL value low enough -
something like 30 seconds or similar. This will work all most
everywhere (although you can't say about something like AOL and their
weird DNS servers).

It isn't exactly like you changing ip-adresses every fifth minute,
just because it's dynamically generated. On a xDSL line you can
probably hold on to your ip for days or weeks.
