autossh (in ports) can help with this. An alternative is to connect them in a VPN. You can make do with just dynamic addresses at both sides if you are prepared to trust some 'dynamic dns' provider (openvpn can be set to make a new DNS query each time a connection times-out). Another alternative is to run IPv6 to some tunnel-broker that supports dynamic clients (e.g. sixxs in Europe).
