I'd recommend using a separate WAN connection for management when
possible. As for using a domain name vs an IP, I prefer using IP because
then you deal with one less point of failure (i.e. DNS). Though I don't
have a strong opinion about that.

I personally haven't used the DHCP option because I try to minimize the
number of client features I have to rely on for a smoother operation.
Perhaps my opinion will change when TR-069 is more wide spread and
client implementations improve.
