I do exactly that with a Zyxel 660 - One of it's NAT configurations lets you
set multiple external addresses as one to one or many to one NATable setups. So
I map my external servers one to one and all the rest goes through a single
many to one. Works a treat. I used to have the real world IPs go straight
through, I have 8, but I had more machines than addresses so there was a NATted
network via a Sparc box - but it actually meant that although all boxes could
get out to the 'net they could not all talk to each other. This snazzy multi
NAT setup solves everything as the LAN side is just one 192.168.0 net.
