If you are using private addresses on the inside interface(s) and NATting to a smaller number of public addresses there are any number of solutions to increase the number of addresses available on the inside. The simple one is to change the netmask of the interface to allow a larger range. However you may want to consider the bandwidth you need and whether it would be better to distribute it over more interfaces or add add additional servers. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
