rvs4000 vpn w dyn dns also behind firewall nat

The local router is behind a fiber firewall/router; the rvs4000's ext ip is thus 192.168.1.2, not visible from the net.  The firewall/router is a dyn ip, with a dyn dns name mapping to it.  The remote (some NetGear thing) is also dyn dns, but it is not behind a firewall.

I want to cook a vpn from the local lan subnet to the remote lan subnet.

It worked fine when both ends were NetGear.

I think it would be ok if somehow I could thell the rvs4000 that the local Security Gateway Type be just FQDN; it can't be IP+FQDN because the remote end doesn't know anything about that kind of thing; it can do IP or FQDN or a couple other confusing things.

It could be IP Only, if I had some way to tell it something other than the routable address.

Any suggestions?

I'd consider changing the other end to also be an rvs4000; the NetGear gizmos seem to die after a year or so.

Could it be made to work with two rvs4000s?

Is there some command line interface to the rvs4000?  Can I telnet or ssh into it and get more control over things?
