This is the approach I've taken in the past - and I've used a 'static address' aka elastic IP as you have been trying to do and it has worked. I guess this isn't the best forum for problems with the Elastic IP service ... but it _should_ work and has worked for me.
At the risk of being off topic - what is the problem? If its obvious there are lots of people on the list who probably use Amazon and are general admins who might provide guidance if its a simple problem. The best help however will come from the Amazon EC2 forums most probably: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/forum.jspa?forumID=30 Or call support if you are paying for it :-). There is also the Route 53 service - which doesn't require a host running bind: http://aws.amazon.com/route53/ The API however is new and the tooling wouldn't be as freely available as a normal DNS server for dynamic updates. ken.
