Default Cisco Pix 501 on cable dynamic IP address

I took over support for a small company that has a pair of PIX 501s. The offices each have a cable broadband connection from an ISP that doesn't offer static IP addresses. The VAR that setup the PIX's assumed the cable connections had static IP addresses so the access-list commands look like:

access-list outside_access_in permit tcp any host xx.xxx.xxx.xx eq 3389

When "xx.xxx.xxx.xx " changes (has been about twice a year - not too much work but disruptive) I have to rewrite the script to reflect the new IP address of the cablemodem

I have setup dynamic IP service for the company and we are using that for SBS 2003 RWW and OWA. Is there a way to use the dynamic IP address in the PIX script for the access-list commands?

If not is there a way to name the outside IP address so I only have to change it in one place in the script?

Is it possible to use dynamic IP address for the PIX to PIX VPN?
