We have a block of 7 IP's. We have 3-4 servers that need static IP's and a
few workstations that could either have static IP's or dynamic IP's. We
have more computers that we need to put online. Maybe a total of 10 or so.
This will leave us with about 6-7 computers sharing 3-4 IP's. I am looking
into implementations of NAT that can give us this. One of my thoughts is to
buy a hardware router. Another thought is to put IP masq on one IP and then
dish out the other 6 IP's.
Another thought was to put all the computers on local IP's. Then use a
linux box to perform both static NAT for a group of IP's and then do dynamic
NAT on one or more IP's. From what I understand though, there is no
implementation of NAT for linux that will do both static and dynamic NAT. I
can do static NAT on 6 IP's, and IP masq on the last IP, correct?
Am I missing any viable alternatives? If I go with the linux option, what
builds should I look at and what packages would I need? I am familiar with
the RedHat distributions.
Thanks for any help pointing me in the right directions,
Kevin Hammond
