Have you tried using the "static route" option? Here AT&T (formerly
Bellsouth) seems to use the exact same setup.  You are assigned a
dynamic IP to the WAN and the modem is configured for the static
routes. They use a Netopia ADSL modem and I've found it to be a pain
to use anything else.

The firmware you talk about is called DD-WRT developed primarily by
Sebastian Gottschall (brainslayer) you can check it out at
www.dd-wrt.com One of the more popular routers for that use is the
Linksys WRT54GL, around here it cost approx USD 60. That firmware (and
some of the earlier linksys on the WRT54G series... now they run
something else because they can save 30 cents a router by halving the
RAM) is running Linux and you can manipulate iptables any way you
want. The WRT54GL variant keeps the higher amount of RAM and flash but
even the newer, more crippled, variant can run the basic DD-WRT
firmware. If you are buying a new router I suggest you get the GL
variant.

Of course there are other routers that can run the DD-WRT firmware and
there are other firmwares for these broadcom-based routers (such as
OpenWRT, Tomato, etc).

Sorry I can't be of further help I never spent much time getting the
multiple IP working on router other than the one the ISP provides but
it should be possible.... Here is the info I am talking about:
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/15901 but I think it should be possible
with your current router and getting the static routing setup.... have
you tried to ask the ISP for some pointers?
