Thanks Kurt

| Not odd at all. Pretty standard.

Well, we've gone through 4 ISP's over the last 11 years, and they always give 
me a /248 IP.  Granted, they route upstream very similar, but I never have to 
supply the router beyond the router that supports my /248.

| Yup. Pretty standard. I assume that the Adtran is the ISP's box that is
| at your site.

Correct, it only gives out the one IP.

I think I said 'level' and I meant 'layer'.

| First, though, you haven't described the rest of your environment.
| What else will this speedy interface be serving? Is this link *only* for
| your web servers, or does it serve the rest of your organization?

A few mail servers, some other services (VPN), etc., as well as the rest of the 
organization, yes.

I can handle that fine with TMG, it's the routing outside my router that has me 
a bit stumped.

| So, you might want to strategise a bit regarding how you treat those
| four public IP addresses. Ask yourself questions, such as:

Those are good questions - I've got that part handled more or less.

Excellent writeup - I'll consider those points.

| Regardless, the simplest way to do what you want is to acquire two boxes
| that can support this. 

Right, I was hoping to avoid buying another box ... if the Layer 3 switch can 
do the routing.  I don't need to do any filtering or firewall outside of the 5 
IP's I get on the /248 subnet, just the routing.

TMG gets upset if you try to define a 'virtual' IP subset, i.e. one not bound 
to an adapter.
