I'm only throwing this out there since I am into home automation. I'm sure there are easier ways to do this, but ...
http://www.smarthome.com/71935/INSTEON-X10-Internet-Controller/p.aspx So you would put this on the WAN side of the router. Controlling it could be a variety of other Insteon devices (stay away from X10). In essence you are pulling the plug, but can do it anywhere. All my IP security cams are on their own network. I am contemplating using this or similar, tied in with my alarm system such that the cameras are only accessible while we are away. That way when we arm the alarm, the cameras are viewable via internet. Disarm, they aren't.
