domain name system - Dynamic DNS with split horizon DNS or hairpin NAT

I would like to host a CalDAV and CardDAV server for devices that will roam between being on the LAN to outside my network (such as my iPhone and laptops). A static IP is prohibitively expensive.



I have a my own domain, a Mac Mini with Lion Server, a SonicWall TZ 200 and a dyn.com dynamic address (the SonicWall keeps the dynamic account updated). I would normally set up a static IP and use split horizon DNS so those roaming devices can point to server.mydomain.com and function on and off my LAN.



Is a similar setup possible with the dynamic address? I am happy to set up the clients with either server.mydomain.com or myaccount.dyndns.org but I would prefer to use my domain.



Would either hairpin NAT on the SonicWall or split horizon DNS using the Lion Server allow this to work?
