subnet would be really nice. (Not that my office needs it. We got involved
in a dot bomb and now we have plenty of extra CF server licenses for Dev
servers.)
Not that I am trying to defeat MM's single IP dev version, but could you not
take a basic home router and plug it in backwards (wan port to the single IP
CF server) and thus the router uses only 1 IP address to access the CF
server? Then whole network can access the CF server through the router via
NAT? I doubt I will ever try this config. Just thinking out loud. I am 100%
sure this violates the Dev server licensing or at least the sprit of it. :-)

That's fine if you're testing everything within that 30-day period. But most
of the things I have don't all come up in the same month. And wiping the box
and reinstalling everything every 30 days isn't practical.
And at least around here, nothing can be really tested in 30 days AND people
still work on all the other things we get paid to do. It's usually: install,
make sure it runs, send out an email for people to look at it, a couple
weeks later enough people have gotten around to looking at it that we can
talk about it and decide what to look at more. A real project with a high
priority comes up and requires attention and puts off testing for weeks.
Repeat for at least 3 months. Heck, just getting a followup meeting for some
committees around here doesn't happen within 30 days. Maybe smaller shops
that don't have a lot of work to do can get stuff fully evaluated within 30
days, but we sure don't.
Lest I come off as whining, I'm not meaning to. I'm just stating the facts
of our situation and why it would be nice to have a $50 developer workgroup
license or something.
