Sure, the router was giving a dynamic address for local NATed
devices.  This does _not_ mean his world-facing IP address is
dynamic.

Further note that many "dynamically" allocated addresses are
effectively static.  It's possible to configure [at least some]
dhcpd implementations to return the same IP address for a given
MAC address.
