I think this would likely work well.  In our remote locations we run 4 port
D-Link routers (with a hub if more computers).  They are our DHCP servers,
NAT, Easily configurable firewall, and work well with our VPN software.  Of
course it depends on how many computers were talking about here and it's
certainly not top of the line but for $50 at your local computer store it
might be worth looking into.  The routers we have never have any problems.

How many public IP's do they have?

Could you attach a consumer grade router (linksys, dlink, etc) to the
ISP provided router so you can have NAT & DHCP?
