You can subnet the class C into two subnets. the first is a /30 subnet
for the router and the firewall and the other is for the hosts. But if
you cant change the subnet mask in the router, you need to build a
proxy arp table to cheat the router into thinking all the hosts are
on the attached ethernet segment. this way, you'll lose 4 IPs from
your asigned pool (broadcast and network addresses for each subnet), but
everything should work fine.


The second way I can think of is using private IPs for the internal network
and static NAT. This way you won't lose any IPs, but certain protocols will
break (Those which use embeded IPs in the payload)
