DHCP doesn't actually mean that the address will be dynamic - DHCP can give you the same ip address every time it is requested. It simply moves the details of configuration from you to your ISP. You probably want to talk with your ISP about this - I would expect you to get one IP assigned to your connection that is expected to be your routers IP address and then it is up to you to take care of routing your subnet to your internal network. You may assign all address to the one machine but only one address will get the traffic to be routed to the other addresses.
