Not sure, but would be interested in your final solution.

Some ADSL routers allow you to send all incoming traffic to one machine,
but I think they still do NAT themselves. The linux box would just have to
do routing/firewalling but not NAT, which will be done by the adsl box.
You may have to config. the ADSL router so it ignores all traffic except 
from the linux box.
