Multiple static IPs + single WAN interface
-
If I had two static IP addresses, and the cable modem was hooked to the WAN interface of my pfSense server.. would it be possible if I could assign one of the servers on the LAN interface one of my static IPs, and give the other static IP to the pfSense server (for internet traffic to flow through)? How would I do this?

It would be better to assign your second static IP as a VIP on WAN, and then use 1:1 NAT to associate it with your internal server.
If you only had that server on a segment, you could bridge it to WAN and assign it directly, but that isn't advisable (or workable) if you have other items on LAN that are privately numbered which need NAT applied.
