I don't think dynamic DNS is needed here.  This is simply a standard setup
with an MX host that doesn't match the A record for the www entry.  I am
going to ramble on a bit and show off my configuration.  There is nothing
special about this but I realize that a lot of people may never have seen a
DNS record before or realize how to query this type of information.

MX entries (I use Google apps)
dkulinski at vps:~$ dig @localhost +short kulinski.net MX
20 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com.
30 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com.
40 aspmx2.googlemail.com.
50 aspmx3.googlemail.com.
10 aspmx.l.google.com.

A record for kulinski.net and www.kulinski.net:
dkulinski at vps:~$ dig @localhost +short www.kulinski.net A
216.22.26.18

dkulinski at vps:~$ dig @localhost +short kulinski.net A
216.22.26.18

Finally, here are the relevant entries from my bind zone file (@ is an alias
to the zone name):
@   NS  ns1.kulinski.net.
@   NS  ns2.kulinski.net.
@     MX  10  aspmx.l.google.com.
@     MX  20  alt1.aspmx.l.google.com.
@     MX  30  alt2.aspmx.l.google.com.
@     MX  40  aspmx2.googlemail.com.
@     MX  50  aspmx3.googlemail.com.
@     A 216.22.26.18
ns1     A 216.22.26.18
ns2     A 216.22.26.19
www     A 216.22.26.18
