I'm using all 5 of my currently assigned addresses - I use them to segregate different services. Got a web server running off one, a PBX for my house on another, an SFTP server on another, some other bits on the last few (including my firewall for my home network)
I could use port forwarding, but for some of these things I like to have them exposed fully to the internet without running them on seemingly random ports. Plus not having to fiddle around with NAT is good (for the PBX at least).
Having all those things behind their own firewalls and separated from my home network is what I need.
I could easily get by with just a single dynamic IP, but owing largely to my job, having this fancy setup works a treat.
