I was thinking the same thing. If you use a dynamic DNS service for your home IP then you could use the FQDN of your home connection in the fail2ban config, if that is supported.
Well, I'd be cautionary about that as well -- I had something similar to that set up with my home environment, with the dynamic DNS hosted by namecheap, since I could maintain the entries via API calls. But something weird happened to one of their DNS servers (out of the 6,) and any requests for my DNS entries that hit that server were being redirected to a random host in some other country (India I think...??) It took a long time working with one of the reps there for them to acknowledge that there was an issue, but it still wasn't resolved after a few days. So I moved my DNS config back to Network Solutions (my domain registrar.) So I'd be cautionary about relying on dynamic DNS. Maybe some sort of automatic SSH script that logs into your server using a shared key, and updates like /etc/hosts to reflect your current home IP?
