   I'm tinkering with a pair of dlinks, and notice the one on an ISP DHCP lease   
   keeps the ip address through a reboot.  Do you have an old non-vpn router you   
   can slap between the modem and the RV082?  You'd still have all those reboots,   
   but at least your ip address would be stable, so no constantly changing the   
   'Gateway address' on all those 29 other routers.  Dunno if your old router   
   would be talented and gifted enough to pass all the vpn stuff unmolested...
