We have a /29 IP block through our ISP.  The problem is, pfsense is

what I would *like* to do.

Routable IP block
WAN IP: X.X.X.10
Def Route: X.X.X.9 (ISP's router)

Routable Internet IPs: Y.Y.Y.96/29


So I gave my WAN interface the IP# X.X.X.10 and a virtual IP of Y.Y.Y.97.
 If I ping X.X.X.10, I get a reply, but if I try Y.Y.Y.97, I get a TTL
exceeded.

(Of course, the LAN NIC sits on my non-routable private segment)

Currently, we have yet another router that is dual-homed with one of each
of the above IPs, but I'd like to consolidate the two machines, if possible.

Any suggestions?

If your ISP routes Y.Y.Y.96/29 to you then it should not be a problem.
Configure ProxyARP on WAN and that is it.

And for the third opinion in this thread :)

You want the 'other' VIP type.  It's used in situations where you have
a subnet routed to you and just need to perform NAT.  It will not be
pingable (unless you nat the ICMP to some internal host).

off this thread... Bill, is it possible to NAT icmp without doing 1:1 NAT?
Thanks. :-)
