An alternative solution to this would be to set up a nice simple internal 
network for whatever machines you want to run, doing your own DHCP etc, and 
then hide all these behind a single firewall talking to the DSL modem on a 
single external IP address.

Unless you actually have a need for multilple external addresses, this is 
probably your best solution, as it means you remain in control of your 
internal network addressing, not your ISP.
