That's where I was heading; a ssh connection from my home server to some
externally-visible machine, and doing a reverse tunnel through that.

The trick is figuring out how to run a dyn-dns-update client from whatever
externally visible machine I am ssh'ing to.  There are such things
available (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DynamicDNS), so I'm not overly
concerned about it yet.  And it might be time to start seriously
considering using a commercial VPN service and using that as my entry point
"back" to my home-server.  (Is that even possible?)
