people do that today.... unforunately they do it with 198.6.1.1 :(

Its called DHCP/PPP, both will auto-magically configure the correct DNS
for your current network connection.  If your laptop changes IP addresses,
it should get new network configuration details for the current network.
Which doesn't work very well when your provider cannot keep a DNS server up for 10 minutes at a time. See the beginning of this thread.
