One of my neighbors asked if we could give him a static IP (i.e., across the wireless LAN). In Corporate VPN terms, that means a real Internet IP address, not NAT'd or Firewalled. I had 2 ideas how to do it, and wondered if anyone has experience.
1) VPN. Still don't know much about VPN, but I imagine I could use creative netmasks to subnet my ISP's space, allowing some of my segments to have "real" IP addresses, but only routing the ones that my ISP gave to me. (I have done similar things in Solaris). 2) This one knocked me out when I thought of it, but don't know if it can work. What if I use static NAT'ing.... eg 128.2.3.44-NAT->192.168.1.44 ((my cloud)) 192.168.1.1---routed to---192.168.56.1 (last link) 192.168.56.44<<--NAT-->>128.2.3.44 This is oversimplified, but NAT-aware people will get it and will affirm or reject my idea.
