What you could do is write something in Perl or some other scripting
language to post the appropriate data to reboot.php, and run it from
cron (or scheduled tasks on Windows) from a machine on the LAN.

Here is the info you would need for that:

      <form action="reboot.php" method="post">
          <input name="Submit" type="submit" class="formbtn" value=" Yes ">


Of course then you'd have to store your firewall password in clear
text on one of your systems, which isn't the best idea in the world,
but might not be of concern in your situation.
