Now we are talking, this is only a technical problem.

Clearly, the provider should not be on the laptop. That would defeat
the entire purpose of having an "Identity Provider". Now on the
server:

One solution is to provide Dynamic DNS, as you say, and its one I like
very much, I had thought about it too for our planned server
implementations.

Second, and perhaps simpler: woudnt the school server control DNS for
the laptops?
What about just make point "identityprovider.local" to your local
schoolserver? - Ah - i got it, the other end must reach the identity
provider too... !

So one solution, dynamic DNS, is pretty robust an tried plus simple.
+100 for that.
