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.
