I think that 5 WAN IPs is the way to do it, shame on ntl for allocating non contigeous addresses though, why can't they get it right like other isps?

Of course, as Robin said, the Smoothwall can probably NAT just one of those IPs to your whole LAN. If it cant then you will need a whole load of rulesets/proxies for the 5 different addresses!

Do let us know how this pans out, I'm sure the info will be helpful to others, remember a little bit of practical experience passed on is worth pages of speculation by us armchair experts ;-)
