That all depends on the ISP, I feel sure.
In my specific case, with a cable ISP, and a dynamic address,  it seems 
that my PUBLIC IP never changes, as long as the cable modem and router 
are powered up , and don't remain off for a long period of time. All the 
addresses behind the router that would interact with Asterisk are fixed, 
and the necessary ports opened on the router for IAX to work.

Not all ISP's are so kind, I am led to believe, but have no firsthand 
knowledge.
Perhaps some more information can be supplied?
