I have a Sidewinder behind a linksys router which does DHCP. The inside 
interface of the FW is static, and the FW's external gateway. This 
sidewinder makes a site to site VPN with the remote sidewinder. This 
works well, but every 6 months or so the cable company changes my 
external IP and i'm forced to change the remote identites IP in the 
Security Association.
