It'd be nice if dynamic DNS could solve this somehow, but it can't with the current implementation. :/
I think this may only get worse now that we're essentially out of IPv4 space.

Samuel Walker:
Bridges ideally have very stable IPs, as their addresses aren't stored in an hourly consensus, but are instead handed out as needed. This isn't such an issue with normal relays as they ill drop out of the consensus after an hour - but it does depend how frequently / predictably the IP address changes. IT would be hard to build up a stable flag for example.

Thanks for the advice everyone, I ended up setting up a bridge node.
However I just noticed in looking at the logs that my ISP seem to disconnect me to reassign my IP address several times a day. Which seems like rather terrible service. Presumably that makes my bridge a lot less useful, as the IP address has such a short lifespan?
