Hi,
I have just started to wrestle with the same problem, and have come to the
conclusion
that I need to turn the DSL device from a router into a bridge. And then run
pppoe
on the Linux box (because the ISP insists on using pppoe, even thought it is
allocating a static IP.)

I don't want to think about bridging the kernel, because the dsl router does
dchp
that I cannot see how to disable. Firewalling kernel-bridged traffic is
apparently feasible,
with patches, but unlikely to be a good option. 

There seem to be other potential problems
to do with your dsl gear, if it uses pppoe, and whether you can control the
MTU.
If you can't, then VPN traffic can get difficult, or in some cases
impossible.

Cameron.
