A static IP address makes things a bit easier as well, though it's not impossible to run a buildbot using a dynamic IP address assuming you use dyndns.org or something similar to maintain the name-to-IP mapping.

I ran a Mac OSX buildbot for the community buildbots for awhile but never did figure out at the time how to get it to fire up on reboot. That was a few years ago. I think today that would easily be accomplished with an @reboot crontab entry. Dunno if that was available way back then, but it's certainly supported on Mac OSX now.
