On 100 Mbit network - 700 MB file over samba was copied about 5-6 min. and over FTP just 1:46 min. Do you know anything about this? Can I resolve this problem with build my own samba from sources?

The DNS lookup might not work for about 95% of the people unless they actually run a DNS server at home.. Might look at doing something where it checks your external IP address and based it on that.. however with dynamic IP's at home that's not a good idea either really.

The only weakness I can see is if you are somewhere that has the same gateway IP as the one you use at home. One way to deal with this might be to get the FQDN associated with the IP address you've been assigned and use that to help determine where you are. That is a pretty straight forward to the problem.
