That sounds like a perfect place for a dynamic address, however, if he had that, it would make life harder for me. With his static address I can instal filters to give him more access to my system at home (which is basically permanently connected, and not a PC) than I allow all the rest of you. (For Tony's benefit - no, this is not relying on source address filtering, I actually filter the packets that my system sends out, I will let it send packets to him that I won't let it send elsewhere, which has basically the same effect).
I can certainly understand the need for access control & security, but with the use of a smart-card one-time password system, this is a moot point. - paul
