Hello,
The autentication by PPPoE is done by the router, you could either do as
you suggested
Get a router whois capable for multiple DMZ static IP adressing & NAT
translation.
The router you need is similar to the 3COM Office connect 25.
This router is discontinued but i am sure they have another appliance
who has the same spesification.
25 means only 25 users (mac's) can use the router as gateway to
internet/lan.
This router you can add DMZ range of IP's or one by one .
Here you can read more about this Internet Firewall /slash/ router.
http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/detail.jsp?tab=features&sku=3C16770-US&pathtype=purchase
Such routers are intended for business enviroments and can be expensive,
my guess around $500USD ++
Or
Add a switch between the modem & the router(s), connect multiple router
with their own unique IP adresses with able to authenticate PPPoE.
Tends to be alot of wiring mess ;) but can be cheaper, thou more power
consuming and general heating ( if you have a smaller room for your
equipment )
Test this setup first before any major purchase, some ISP may block
unknown mac's.
In some modems, you may have to change the modem setting to "bridgeing",
usual in newer modems with builtin switch/firewall/router.

I have a problem which really doesn't have to do with Qmail Toaster, but I
was hoping someone on the list may be able to help me with this.
I already have Qmail Toaster up and running just fine. I have it running
with two domains already(using the virtual domains). However I want to
add a 3rd domain, but do not want to run it on the current Qmail Toaster
machine. I want to run it on its own machine.
Here is what I currently have:
1. DSL with a 1 static IP address using PPPoe to connect to the ISP.
2. DSL Router that forwards the mail ports to the active Qmail Server.
According to my DSL provider, I can get multiple IP address, but due to
the fact that I connect with PPPoe I can only have 1 router that
authenticates. So in reality Multiple Static IP's won't do me any good,
true? Now one thing I have tried to find was a Router that allows
multiple DMZ, but haven't found any. I do not want to have the second
server use non standard ports.
I hope this all makes sense. Does anyone have any idea's on how I could
make this work with either one static ip or with a router that allows
multiple DMZ zones?
Thanks...
