Post Gnutella Name resolutions

Okay I'm running Limewire and I am behind a IP masking utility with my ISP (ie my IP is a subnet 10.*.*.*, which is routed to some dynamic IP on the web). Now unfortunately they also have us on Dynamic IP's so I set up a dynamic name host to monitor my IP everytime I log onto the network and return a DNS name entry. What I'm wondering is if Gnutella (or more importantly Limewire) will resolve this into my present IP or if it will drop the connections people try to make to me. I want to essentially know wether I can leave the static name in the box for where to push info to or if I need to change it so it lists my real dynamic IP? Thanks for any info.
