I guess you'd have to hope your ISP didn't cut off your box while you were in the taxi... In theory, you could even use "dynamic DNS" to make this actually work with a domain name that you purchase. But, as you noted in your email, that's not a real good idea. I do something similar at home via my home ethernet network. I even assigned a name, known only by my "main box," that resolves to the "test box."
