You *could* just setup a DHCP server on the gateway for the remaining IP address and when the other 14 machines came online, they could dynamically pull the IP addy. Just set some very strict rules on the incoming packets to the rest of the internal network. This is a similar thing to what I did when I had an 8-block from Qwest a couple years ago.

The situation is that I need to setup a network where each machine gets a unique global IP address from behind a firewall which performs NAT. I have 16 addresses so my question is can I alias 14 addresses to the primary nic and then config each private address to map directly to one global address or have I missed something fundamental about this ? Any advice is appreciated.
