What brand of net router do you have? Most allow port forwarding to
internal machines for supported services, i.e. mail HTTP etc.
Why not have the nat router get the address from the ISP, use your
internal network of 192.168.1.x and port forward. Why do you feel that
you need internet routable addresses to provide services? The limitation
is probably with your nat router not being able to handle more than one
subnet.
