If I understand correctly you are trying to setup your server's firewall to 
only allow connections from your home or office pc with a dynamic IP address.

Why not setup dynamic dns for your ip address, and setup the server to allow 
connections from the particular hostname. If you use a DNS service, you can 
probably do that already, otherwise there's dyndns.com. There are dynamic dns 
update tools for various platforms.
