Hi AndrÃ©s!

I think that this will work for us, but it will involve a manual change
to the config because the GUI only allows IP addresses.
So what we need to do is:

1) Configure both ends with dynamic DNS hostnames.
2) Download and edit your config.xml and replace the IP address within
the <remote-gateway></remote-gateway> tags with the FQDN of the remote
end.
3) Save the file and restore to your firewall (See Backup/Restore
section under Diagnostics for this and 2) above).

*NOTE* I have not tried this yet so I'm not sure if it will work.

Ciao
