A laptop running 6-STABLE is connected to the Internet thru a DSL

I'm not entirely sure if this will solve your problem but you can set
up a FQDN for that IP without causing any conflicts. If you have a
"public" domain name, say, yourdomain.com than you could set up a
subdomain
private.yourdomain.com
and locally run your own DNS server to serve for that domain, and to
forward DNS requests for all other domains. You can also make that
some local DNS server do reverse lookups in 192.168.0.0/16 without
worries as long as DNS queries are only coming from within your local
network.
Also, try to configure your DHCP server (on your modem-router) to
always give the same IP address to your laptop (you can do this by
associating an IP with the hardware ethernet (or wireless) MAC address.
