Hi,

You should see if the client can operate as a Microsoft Office "partial 
redelegation".  One client where I work uses Office 365 and still 
retains control of their own DNS.

I did a quick google...

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/How-Office-365-manages-DNS-records-5980474a-097f-4f21-a864-21245314957f

If you can't get to a "partial redelation" situation, then you are 
really limited on what you can do, and it's likely that a dynamic IP 
address just won't work with Office 365 either.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Steve W.
