The public interface (ed0) always gets the same address from the DSL modem, even though it's using DHCP. I think you associated the comment with the wrong ifconfig line (I've added a break between them to clarify). I'm starting to think that it would be easier to use ppp/tun and ssh rather than gif in this instance, even though I'm less familiar with that arrangement.
