I don't see why the proxies are involved. They only cache HTML traffic on port 80. VPN traffic is on port 500 (if memory serves) and will simply bypass them.

My limited experience of VPNs (using some Netgear FWG114Ps) suggests that it should be possible to set up a FQDN (fully qualified domain name) using dyndns.org or somesuch and use that instead of the IP addy. It works fine for me.
