      For example if I have 10 external IP's and I want to pass some onto a DMZ zone to use the external IP's what would be the best way to accomplish this.

        You could bridge DMZ to WAN, if you only intend to have the public IP systems there. Or you could use 1:1 NAT to map the public IPs to private IPs on a routed DMZ interface.

          Hmmm thanks I didn't think about bridging the DMZ to the WAN. I presume I could switch on the firewall bridge interfaces so I can still use snort and the firewall function.

            Nothing to switch on, bridged interfaces are still treated like separate interfaces and you can filter, do snort, etc. You just can't have a service listening on that interface since it has no IP address. Snort doesn't listen in that way, it does packet inspection, so it still works.
