A 'trick' i personally use for an unreliable connection is an OpenSSH-Tunnel. Altough any VPN-solution should to the trick. That way the connection between the two rsync-halvs isn't directly tied to the internet-connection. In my case that means that when the internet-connection drops the OpenSSH-Tunnel 'dies' (Assured/Expided by a relative low 'ServerAliveInterval' & 'ClientAliveInterval') but as the rsync connection isn't directly tied to the internet-conncetion, Linux keeps that connction 'hanging'. After reconnecting the OpenSSH-Tunnel the rsync connection resumes when Linux realizes that the destination can be reached again. This also abstracts away problems with Dynamic-IPs.
