two Netgear FVS328 VPN routers with static and dynamic IP

I have two Netgear FVS328 VPN routers with firmware 1.0 09. One has a static
IP and the other has a dynamic IP using Dyndns. When a new IP is assigned to
the dynamic IP router, the static IP router can no longer DNS lookup the
dynamic router and must be rebooted in order to reestablish a VPN
connection. Once the static IP router is rebooted, it can DNS lookup the
dynamic IP router and establish a VPN connection, which works fine until the
next time a new IP is assigned to the dynamic IP router. Is this a known
problem? Is there a workaround? Has this been fixed in firmware 1.0 13 Beta?

Best,
Christopher
