Go here
http://www.dyndns.org/services/dns/statdns/ and set one up, and that will be fine for VPN use.
It's also FREE.
(Make sure that they use the
domain name, rather than the IP address for the VPN - that way, you can update the DNS record if/when your NTL IP address changes.)

I use
http://www.dyndns.org/services/dns/statdns/ for the same reason and it works fine.
