Two options come to mind, which will depend on what features
the ADSL router has:

1) Operate the ADSL router in modem mode.

2) Have the ADSL router forward all traffic onto the firewall.
Some routers label this option as a "DMZ machine".


Otherwise most decent ISPs will offer a block of 8 IPs as part
of a good service:
