I've a similar use of VPN (actually OpenVPN), but poke a hole in the
firewall and simply use port forwarding to the server/UDP port. I don't
use/need DMZ. If I were running www Web servers (which I kind of thought
you were) then I'd be investigating DMZ and possibly addtional assigned
IP addresses for each server. Hmmm, do Virgin even roll out additional
static addresses for home users?

No..


AIUI the 'DMZ' feature on the SH2 is just a massive port redirect where
everything incoming goes to one internal IP address. Then you just have to
worry about which ports to open. Don't need static IP address unless the
assigned one changes too often.

This may well be a problem if with VM as if you have the server at that
end the clients want to know where to look for their connection.

A varying VM IP address ain't that useful;!..

I haven't asked about one or more static addresses - it sounds expensive :-
)

If its Virgin Media they dont have any, they use DHCP or their version
of it all the time. My IP addy has changed over time but its not that
often. For added addresses you'll have to go to another non VM
provider...
