I recently set up my first FreeBSD box, and I'm interested in using it as a router between a small LAN and the inet. I've read up quite a bit on the subject, and know what should be required to get things operating, but I have a complication.. My ISP (dedicated ADSL line) assigned me several static IPs to use (though not a full subnet). Generally in the FAQs and HOWTOs for routing, I see two seperate subnets being connected, often using IP aliasing. The IPs I've been assigned are in the same subnet as the gateway (at my ISP) that my router would need to connect to (naturally). Will I be able to use these IPs within my LAN, though they're in the same subnet my router would be connecting to? Sorry if any of that was phrased badly; I'm very tired. :) Thanks for any help you can give.
