JB: My thoughts were to not be behind the firewall with box #2, but 'next'
to it. But I'm open to all alternative methods. Having multiple options
is always a good thing.

JB: The dsl modem is a straight bridge. No PPPoE or PPPoA. What goes in
the front comes out the back. I have a single static IP on a /24
network with a normal gateway address - plus these 8 additional IP's
they are now sending down my wire.

especially if something new is learned)
