Ah I think I understand where the confusion is. For DSL services here its up to 
the customer to provide and configure the DSL modem. Its usually done via their 
ISP but can be reconfigured if necessary as we have done. So its not really 
anything to do with the ISP.
I think a secondary address on the interface should work fine for this just not 
sure how to do it?

    Probably a question for your ISP.

    A single DHCP public address is all I would expect.

Basically because the DHCP addresses are routed in a different public subnet 
versus the Static addresses.

192.168.100.1, provided 192.168.100.1 is routed via the default route over the 
WAN path, the modem's web interface will appear.  Though if you defined a local 
private 192.168.100.1/24 LAN network or block RFC1918 egress traffic, the 
modem's web interface will be blocked.
