What is "use dynamic global hostname" ?

So in the Sharing preferences and then in edit for the computer name what is "use dynamic global hostname".

How does it work, what does it do, and how can I configure this?
Also am I crazy or is there a spelling error in the word Bonjour when you enable it? Maybe the fonts are just too close together but it looks like Borjour (R where there should be an N)

Dynamic global hostname is, I believe, wide area bonjour -- If you have .mac it's called 'back to my mac' but you can use it without .mac

Basically it let's you share over the internet you printer, hard drive, etc. I don't know if the dynamic servers like tz0 support it yet or not...
