      Hello, I am trying figure out how to proceed with my home LAN and I need your help.

      I've got 3 public ips (.85, .191, .192), switch and pfSense transparent bridging firewall (which is running flawlessly, of course), and I'm currently having 3 computers behind it, but I'm planning to add a server (FreeBSD with a couple of Jails) and maybe a few VoIP phones. Currently, I am having P3 733MHz (rarely loaded more than 20%) and is not that big problem to change it/upgrade it, if necessary.

      The problem is that I can't get more public IPs and I need to NAT. I've never used NAT and I am uncertain whether NATting is suitable in this case, because I have more than 50mbps bandwidth and the server will act as s gaming server (low latency, UDP, many connections), media storage and web server (high bandwidth, many connections). I need to have public services on every machine, too. For now, NAT/Static DHCP seems to be the best, but I'm not sure if NATting is appropriate in this case.

      Can you advise me what to do?
