Re: Multiple IP on firewall?

That's a serious problem for you. Have you exhausted all possible negotiations with NTL to allow multiple IPs on your single external interface?

A completely different approach would be to have a different style of firewall: one which is transparent to IP, and works at Layer 2 by sniffing the passing traffic and diverting it as necessary. Then your five public machines could have their real NTL IP addresses.
