Multiple Public IPs/1 Router?

I have 5 static external IPs and I want to put up a firewall for each. I've
looked at routers, but they don't seem to have too many that support
multiple external IPs. I would really prefer to have one piece of hardware
as 5 seperate router/firewalls sounds like a hassle. Could someone clue me
in as to what type of hardware I am looking for or some terminology to
google?

Thanks much,

Hi

There are some routers that do cater for multiple public IPs. certainly the
Cisco501's do and the Dreytek2900s.
I guess it depends on how you make your WAN connection and how much money
you got!

And I think the terminology for this is 'Multi-NAT' but different
manufactutures call it different things !

Happy hunting

maybe use one switch on WAN side and multiple low-cost routers ?

Try Zyxel P334WT or go to www.zyxel.com. You are looking for the router
which can support multi-NATs or IP mapping.

You could be bottlenecking your bandwidth if you go this route.
Emphasis on the could. I don't think such a piece of hardware exists.
(I have been known to be wrong. From time to time. ) Wait,
inspiration hits. Set up one PC with 6 ethernet adapters and BSD.
(Preferably NetBSD.) You can set up firewalls, NATs and IP mappings for
each connection. The alternative is to do the same with XP... but I
wouldn't reccomend it. I have no clue which way it would puke, er I
mean if it could handle something like that.

Pretty much the whole sonicwall line will do what you need.
