   I have not yet bothered, but I have been assured that the ADSL
modem/router does not require a public IP address, as long as there is a
through connection to any/every allocated public address. If you only have a
single IP address, that can be allocated to the firewall and port forwarding
used to extend the connections on. An address block is no longer a
requirement, (although I assume that any single port can only be forwarded
to a single box).
