Yes... using the IP address is ok.
https:\\x.x.x.x\exchange
However, it would be a shame to use it. There are services like ZoneEdit
where you can transfer your DNS records and just create a the A record that
you like... or in a worst case scenario (if you don't even have a domain
name) I would use something like dyndns.org to create a record like
yourname.dyndns.org pointing to your IP address (it doesn't matter if it's
not static) and use that!
