I do this all the time.  Dyndns works well, but it works best with 
m0n0wall actually on the net.  I would set the ADSL router to bridge 
mode, and let m0n0wall handle the pppoe.  That way m0n0wall handles the 
dyndns, and the security.  I have port 443 open to 'any' because I 
manage from many locations.  If you are concerned, simply move it to an 
unusual port.  VPN is an option, but it can be hacked as well, so I just 
use 443 and rely on m0n0wall to work as it was designed.  So far it has 
in over 40 locations.
