      Hello, Would this use case be possible.

      I want to have router(1) with with a large IPv4 public sub net (/24) on a server then I want to have another router(2) on another server what/are there any possible ways of me forwarding/using IP addresses from router(1) on router(2). So for instance router(1) has the public IP space 1.1.1.0/24 is there any way of me forwarding and using 1.1.1.2 etc on router(2).

      Sorry if this is dumb.

        A bit more info is needed.

        1: Do you want 1.1.1.2 as router2 WAN IP ?
        2: Or do you want to have a host with 1.1.1.2 behind router2 ?
        3: Do use NAT/PAT on router2 (wan)

        If using 1 , 2 would not be possible , as you would have the same ip address on both "Lan & Wan" - The router would not know where (what Lan) to send a packet destined for 1.1.1.2
