Based on feedback from Joe Greco and such, he suggested contacting my ISP and having them assign us another block of addresses for out home networks. I didn't think it was a 'kosher' thing to ask for, but based on his prodding I did and I'm now the proud owner of another 32 IP addresses, which I'll break into 4 chunks and assign to each of the employees for their home. It's by *far* the easiest solution, and given that we're not using anymore bandwidth than we were paying for already the ISP was more than willing to give us more addresses. It'll work out really well for us, and saves on the nightmare of trying to hack around routes and such (and I still don't have to learn about NAT). Nate
