I would like to know how to go about configing NFS with dynamic IP. I

in advance for any help you guys.
What i would like to do is to have a network at home with shared
folders. I asked around and people suggested NFS. I have three linux
computers with openSuse 10.2 on them. My isp hands me three separate
IP's witch are dynamic. All the computers is connected to the same
switch.
Now I can't say I have read all the man and info pages but i have read
a bunch of them including some online howtos. The general idea seams to
be that the IP's should be static witch is a luxury i dont have. I could
go with the hostname method mentioned above but I need some explination
and some guidelines. I'm not using yast for this, im managing the
conf-files manualy. I dont thing that getting the NFS service going is a
problem, either server or client, its just that I don't know how to
handle the dynamic IP issue.
Very great full over the advise guys.
Make sure you're not sharing your computers to the internet. You can
get a dynamic DNS service, which will follow your IP address. You can
also run a script in Linux, whenever the IP changes. There is provision
for this in the DHCP client.
Sounds pretty good, thx for the help. Now how would a basic script to do
that look like in general. Nothing specific , just some pointers or is
that outside the scope of the discussion.
Thx guys for the help, very appreciated.
