There's no requirement you use the same address for different things.

It sounds mostly like judicious setting up of your dns zone, including
(among other bits)
$origin icafe.com.au.
@ ns mic
ns ns1.telstra.net.
ns www
mx 10 www
20 mic
mic a 202.35.247.9
www a adsl.address
and updating your www address each time your adsl address changes.
(So give your www address a ttl compatible with address change
frequency and maximum down time on change.)
If you're concerned about what kind of traffic uses each path, your
could configure your firewalling technology of choice however you
like.
