that those addresses are static.

That is the case in the vast majority of situations.  Many users want to 
be able to access their home network resources remotely on occasion but 
they don't want everyone else to be able to and printers and other 
appliances have little if any security built into them.  The paradigm of 
internal versus external networking is going to be very hard to educate 
past given that most users are comfortable with how it works today.
