IPF and Routing

[Minnesota Slinky]

Why bother doing nat?  You *could* just setup a DHCP server on the
gateway for the remaining IP address and when the other 14 machines came
online, they could dynamically pull the IP addy.  Just set some very
strict rules on the incoming packets to the rest of the internal
network.  This is a similar thing to what I did when I had an 8-block
from Qwest a couple years ago.

Hello,
I have question regarding IPNat and routing. The situation is that I
need to setup a network where each machine gets a unique global IP
address from behind a firewall which performs NAT. I have 16 addresses
so my question is can I alias 14 addresses to the primary nic and then
config each private address to map directly to one global address or
have I missed something fundamental about this ?

Any advice is appreciated.

TIA LukeK
