I have used a LEAF box running OpenVPN to accomplish a task very similar to this. Using the BERING uClib version with the OpenVPN package gives you the software capability you need and you would configure the inside interface of the LEAF box with an address in the subnet range of your devices and your devices would then use this as their gateway address.
If you address the outside interface of LEAF box with an address on the customer's LAN and pointed to *their* gateway, it should be able to work to set up a site-to-site LAN that would allow communication with your devices without having them be part of the customer's normal address space. I'm assuming you want this connection to stay up all the time?
