Cox CIDR block configuration

[lkrawczyk at amhealthgroup.com]

Cox says that they route the 24.  CIDR through the 70. static though so it sounds like they have already done the routing. Do I need to do something else?  They said I need a special router with 2 WAN ports.

So are you saying I should just change all my external interfaces to the CIDR address and forward them the way I've been doing to the LANs?  I tried that and had no luck.  Don't I need some interface to the static ip?
CIDR is just another way of specifying an ip address.  The following two IP addresses are identical, the only difference is how it is specified.  Some devices prefer one way, other devices prefer the other, and some will take either:

Address Specified Old Fashion Way:
   Address: 123.123.123.112, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.240

Same Address Specified the CIDR Way:
   123.123.123.112/28

So, it sounds like you have two network addresses, as 70. address and a 24. address.  It sounds like you need to route from one to the other.  Is this correct?
