My recommendation would be the `firehol' package, available in unstable.
It isn't a turn-key solution where you can expect it to work in your
configuration out of the box, but it /is/ trivial to set it up as a
simple firewall.
It also allows you to do whatever magic (none, I suspect, but you
specifically mention the setup, so there must be something) you need for
the dynamic nature of the connection.
