I am moving broadband supplier to get static IP addresses. The supplier I am moving to gives 8 stsic IP addresses.

Currently with my single dynamic IP, the setup I have is this:

dlink-dsl300t modem -> wrt54gs router -> 1 linux webserver, 1 sbs 2003 dhcp, active directory and email server, and client PC's.

What I want to do is to have one external IP address routed to the windows box for vpn, one for windows email, and two ip addresses for linux dns and web server.

How do I reconfigure the router to achieve this?

The linux box (fedora core 4), has one NIC and one additional address, the windows box has 2 NIC's.

WHat I though of doing was going from the modem to a switch, then connecting the linux box and one NIC from the windows box to the switch, using public IP addresses, then connect the router to the second NIC on the windows box for the internal LAN and dhcp.

Would this be the most efficient way?
