similar to private ip address translations, there are such things as private AS (autonomus system) Number translations which can be performed with your upstreams for you and therefore avoid the trouble of getting a live one from APNIC. but it's a quick and dirty hack.
again, as migs said, bgp is mandatory if you host servers with access patterns similar to web,ftp,etc. the exceptions are namely smtp & dns because you can rely on multiple DNS records with different ip addresses given by your upstreams. if you dont need bgp, get the 2.4 kernel that does network address translation as migs proposed. but you should bug him instead because i have yet to experience how to do that. =) pong --- "Ian C.
