I personally have a similar setup, although I have 2 dedicated IP's 
here.  Just FYI, Thomas - if you DO have the 2 IP's already, it's pretty 
much the job of your ISP to make sure traffic for both of them gets 
routed over your PPP link.  If you don't have 2 static IP's (or you have 
a dynamic PPP connection), then most of the work is on your end.
