I'd go for BGP.  That way, no change to the physical network layout needs 
to be done (no additional boxes in the packet path), and you can insert
the route with a BGP next-hop pointing to the RAS server in question.

BGP has its own caveats, but I think it's a lot less intrusive than all
the other variants (NAT, inline Linux boxes, ...)
