I was not sure about it and it seems like it will not work. However, if
one could use static IP(s) that the ISP provided, one could configure the
router to use the static IP(s) from the ISP and not have the router obtain
DHCP IP(s) from the ISP. I know AT&T once gave me static IP information and
I configured the router to use those IP(s). So, with that kind of setup,
one could use static IP(s) on the router I would think and not be bothered
with what the OP is going through, if I am in the ball park.
