That has happened, but more often I get the same IP address after the
power comes back. This is with WRT54G and now WRT54GL.
The real problem has been that the IP address may change when they work
on something upstream, and I won't even know about it until later in the
day. When the power fails, at least you know to check it.
With dyndns.org or no-ip.com you can have a local agent automatically
keeping tabs on your current external address and updating accordingly.
Basic service for that is free. Then just have you more official
hostname CNAME alias to that.
I was using this approach until linode openned up their dns api, now
I've got a ruby script that does it off their dns servers.
