      Most of my vLans are being given a dedicated public/WAN IP address.  I've just mapped them all as 1:1 NATs, but now I think I might need virtual IP settings instead.

      Which is it?

      On top of the 'dedicated WAN' addresses for the vLans, some will also need port forwarding set up - does this change which I should use?

        Those are two entirely different things. And if you're using public IPs internally, neither apply. More than anyone can explain here, read http://pfsense.org/book

          The setup is;

          Bonded ADSL line in with about a dozen usable IP addresses.

          About 18 internal vLans (which must be totally closed from each other - except for the fact that one, vLan64, has to be available from all the other vLans).

          Most of the vLans will have a dedicated public IP address, but a few will have to share.

          And I need to get this working today (it's 1220 here in England)!!
