Netgear FVS338 to Linksys befvp41

I replaced a Linksys BEFVP41 with a Netgear FVS338 at the office, which has a static IP.

We still have 1 Linksys BEFVP41 at a users house with Dynamic IP.

With the Linksys, we were able to set the remote gateway in the office to "any" to look for the users dynamic IP

Apparently that is not the case with the Netgear. Nertgear support says it should work with DynDns.com (or something else) and enter the FQDN.

I have no idea what they are talking about. Do i get an account with DynDns.com and make a host for each WAN network, and point the opposite FQDN to the opposite DYNDNS host?

Please help, I am lost.

 
Just get an account with dyndns.org (not dot com)---you get 5 free accounts, but you'll only need one---for the user at the home with the dynamic IP address, and go into the configuration of the Netgear box at this user's home and set it to send the dynamic changes to dyndns.org. Should be straightforward in the router.
