vsftpd tricky configuration

Hi,
  I'm currently trying to set up the following setup: vsftpd + SSL + passive mode. I've configured everything and all seems to be well. Since passive mode requires that the FTP service return the public IP in the PASV commands, I've set the following options:

pasv_address=www.example.com
pasv_addr_resolve=YES

However, I'm behind a dynamic IP, so when I come to start vsftpd it correctly obtains the public IP and uses it in the PASV commands. However, once my public IP changes, vsftpd stops working (I can connect but can't run any commands that require the data port since vsftpd is now using the wrong public IP in the PASV commands). Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
