Has anybody done this through a full bridge? My Actiontech isn't nearly
as friendly with it's options...

Half Bridge mode is your friend here.
Not sure if the D-Link supports this mode however, Google is less than
helpful. Essentially in half bridge mode the modem handles the PPPoA
authentication with the ISP, as in NAT mode obtaining an IP address
from the remote provider as normal. Unlike NAT mode however the modem
then leases out this exact same IP address to the connected ethernet
host, thereby presenting the external IP directly to your external
ethernet port. Finally the modem begins to transparently bridge the
ADSL/Ethernet connections.
I can vouch for Zoom X3/4 and ADSL Nation X-Modems working in this
mode without issue.
