      Hi everybody

      I just got 8 Public IPs from my ISP which are in one /29bit subnet. I would like to use the IPs as efficiently.

      I would need a hint if what I'm looking for can be done with pfsense.

      My requirement is a Router with 3 Ethernet NIC which can do the following:

      First NIC: should do PPPoE to connect to the ISP and get the first available public IP
      Second NIC: should provide me a subnet of private IPs which is translated with NAT over the First NIC and which is firewalled!
      Third NIC: should provide the same subnet like the first NIC is in but only routet and also firewalled!

      The third NIC will be connected to a VLAN on a Switch where devices are connected which should have internet access over a public IP. The reason for this is, because i don't want to NAT them as there is some kind of SIP traffic going through.
      Basically what I need on the third NIC is a DMZ/Perimeter without NAT.

      Regards Markus

        Just to give a little feedback to my posting by myself..

        I started to install it few Hours ago and it is already installed on my router hardware and works like a charm.
        Very impressive and nice peace of software!
