If I want to use my FreeBSD box as a router, I do need static IP
addresses, as far as I know. However, my ISP can not provide logins with
static IP addresses. Does anybody know whether there is some way to use
a FreeBSD machine as a router that has one interface with a static IP so
I can connect the other machines to it, and one interface that will
accept the (variable) address my ISP gives me each time I call, so I can
route from the static IP to the variable IP to the Internet?
