If you have access to the dhcp server you just have to bind the
mac-adress of the DomU to a specific IP.
If not, you could use dyndns.org and ddclient installed on your DomU to
update a dns-entry (like myDomU.dyndns.org)
you then just have to wait until the entry is updated (thats usually
quick) and login via the hostname.

You can ping the hostname...
