Default RouterFix Confusion

Okay, I've setup my no-ip.info account, and have the dynamic updater running. Then I came to the next part and have opened up the hosts file and am trying to figure out what changes to make.

The RouterFix instructions say the following:

"Also after doing this use the dns address for your worldserver address as well as you zoneserver address. Replace all the 127.0.0.1 with your DNS address. After doing this bothe people from outside your router as well as yourself will be able to log into server."

So if my IP address was currently (for example) 65.76.87.166 does that mean I should set the change to the following?

65.76.87.166 localhost
65.76.87.166 dragonnest.no-ip.info

This is confusing me because my IP address is dynamic (kind of the whole point of all this) and it won't likely apply the next time I log in. So what is the effect of specifying it here?

Perhaps my confusion lies in not being sure what is meant by "worldserver address" and "zoneserver address". Should I be using the "Server IP Address" that shows up when I look in my connection status details, or "Client IP Address" (which I believe is the dynamic one)?

Anything you can say to help clarify this would be appreciated.
