The 10% of the time when this might be problematic is when I am onsite at the host and want to use it to access the Internet as a client. Of course, at such times I could easily temporarily switch it back to automatic addressing, but if I leave the site and forget to restore the permanent address, that's trouble. Any nifty alternate ideas?

If you are dialing directly into the machine use it's IP.
Dial up the connection, run VNCviewer, put in the IP and display number and you are set.
If that is too much trouble, put an ECRadio entry in your Hosts file on the client machine. No need for a DNS server/overhead when dialing directly into a machine.
