I have a bridged DSL connection with four routable IP addresses (x.x.x.152 -
x.x.x.155). One interface of the NetBSD box is connected to the DSL modem
and arps for it's one IP address and I use choparp (in packages) to arp for
the other three IP addresses. The second interface is a 145/28 subnet that
correspond to the subnet that contains my four addresses, and twelve that
are not assigned to me. The 144/28 network is my internal network. Three
of the four assigned addresses are in the internal network, and I have a
couple extra systems using the addresses that are not assigned to me using
NAT.
My only problem is that I can not talk to the IP addresses that I am using
that are not assigned to me (i.e. 144-151, 156-159). But then what are the
odds of them having something I want to see.
So all four IP addresses are used. No NAT required unless you are hiding
more systems.
