In a word, yes.

It doesn't seem to work if I configure it statically for reasons that I
don't quite understand - I think it thinks unless it has the constant
DHCP traffic (cos it sets the lease really low) that my computer is off
so it shouldn't keep the PPP session up or something.

It's a bit broken is my router IMHO but I needed the public IP all the
way to my iptables box so I could get asterisk listening on the public
IP and my internal IP phone talking to it.  SIP and NAT yeuch.  Don't do
it kids :)
