Its quite easy actually, using one of those free dynamic hostname
services that provide MX records. Set your internal network up with that
set your gateway up to respond to external requests from that, tell
sendmail that its delivering for that and it works fine. I use it at
home. Works well and when you go perm, most of those free site will let
you set up a perm ip, so there is no change over config.
