  Just bear in mind, the WRT54 will bog down after it receieves 'x'
number of connections open if being used for all 5 addresses.  We have
6 static IPs off of a buisness class 3 Mb DSL, and the WRT54 we used
would often need to be rebooted after someone did a BitTorrent
download.  Mostly has to do with the limited memory/processor power in
those little boxes, and handling NAT on a thousand connections bogged
it down.

  We went to a pfSense firewall on a box booting from CD, which gave
us the ability to have one box do firewalling/NAT/redirection for all
6 IPs on one firewall.
