        To do so you have to use routing and shut down NAT. You have to do the subnetcalculation accordingly to do this and then enable advanced outbound NAT at firewall>nat>outbound. Then delete all the rules that are created at the bottom of the screen once you enabled it.
        Another way to give them a pseude public IP of their own is to add VirtualIPs to your WAN and 1:1 NAT them to the private IP you gave to the client. They'll then have a private IP at their end which maps to a public IP exclusively.

            Oh, and another option you have is to use pfsense as transparent firewall. This way you wouldn't have to mess with routing/nat or anything. There is a nice tutorial how to do this: http://pfsense.com/mirror.php?section=tutorials/transparent_firewall/transparent_firewall.pdf
