I had a block of IP's from Qwest, so I put the router in unnumbered
mode, so it in essence handed out it's real IP's to what sat behind it.
It chewed up two IP's but I was happy just for it to be done.
Theoretically, you should be able to just place it in bridging and turn
off nat, but I could not get it to work rite.
