      Hi,

      I get 5 dynamic IP's from my ISP via DHCP. There is no scope of 5 IP's that is assigned to me, my uplink is a shared /20 from the ISP and the DHCP-leases are random within this /20, probably based on mac with a 30min lease time.

      I only have one uplink-port, one WAN-port on my pfSense-box and no room for adding a switch to solve it with VLAN's.

      I havn't figured out how to get those other 4 addresses available, is it possible to play with VIP's or similiar?

        That isn't currently possible.

        We've had some people try this with multiple NICs and they've had mixed success.

        Eventually it may be possible via netgraph virtual interfaces but that's a long way off yet.
