I used the following solution:

Since I was also using SIP, I had a cron job running to detect ip
change and post new ip on DYNDNS.ORG (which won't do anything for iaxy
but wait). Although this worked fine, phones like Grandstreams still
had to be rebooted as they only do DNS upon boot. Good to know.

For the IAXy, in the cron job, I created a new iaxyprov.conf file
containing the new ip. Then I did a "manual" provision. Ok, I forgot
one handy detail, my own home ip was static. However, travellers could
use DDNS on the client end (buying domains is pretty cheap thses
days.)

The above system worked until I was finally able to get a static ip on
the asterisk box.
