How about changing the problem a bit?

What I do is have OpenVPN connecting to a hostname, and split DNS set up 
for my domain. When I'm away from home, the machine gets the external 
address, and when I'm inside my home's network it gets the internal 
address. They point to the same physical machine, but the change is 
seemless to me.
