I have 5 static IPs that for the moment I want to all map to a single server for virtual hosting. At the same time share the internet connection with my wired/wireless workstations and port forward important stuff to the server. My current broadband router must be assigned a single WAN IP, so currently any of the other 4 IP's are worthless. Hope that makes sense. Josh

Do you need multiple interfaces with public IP or multiple public IP per one interface (dunno what would you do with that as your ISP is going to route only primary one anyway)? In any case cisco has both and on ebay you may get pretty good deals.

Hi,

Anyone have any experience with a broadband router (preferably wireless, but wouldn't have to be) that supports multiple public static IP's? I was looking at the MultiTech RF500S, but some reviews say it supports multiple public IPs, some say it only supports one, some say it does after a firmware upgrade.

After googling for an hour I am not seeing many inexpensive (100-150 USD) alternatives so I figured I'd ping the list to see if anyone has other recomendations.

Thanks,

The router will always just have one WAN IP address, but will route multiple IP addresses to its LAN interface. These will not be in the same netblock as the WAN IP address. So (using examples with private IP addresses, but the same principal applies with public IP addresses) your IP allocation might be 192.168.1.232/29 and the router's WAN IP address 10.0.1.2. The router's LAN interface address would be from your /29 (for example 192.168.1.233) and 192.168.1.234-238 being available for devices on your LAN (192.168.1.232 being the network address & 192.168.1.239 the broadcast address.) Suitable routers include Solwise SAR-715PVW and Draytek Vigor 2600We which both have wireless support.
