Short version: IP adresses don't matter for Shibboleth.

No static IP addresses for your end users is irrelevant: Shibboleth
replaces authorisation based on the end users IP address with
something else (SAML assertions) that works from anywhere.

No static IP address for the Shibboleth IDP (or SP) web *server*
simply means you'd have to have some process in place that updates DNS
("dynamic DNS") whenever the server's (non-static) IP address changes.
Also has nothing to do with Shibboleth.

Alternatives to what, excatly?
You'll need to provide more details.

Or maybe just talk to DFN:
