As I understand it, and in my experience with the PIX 515, if I want to have internal services advertised to the outside world (i.e. FTP) the external interface of the PIX 515 requires at least 2 IP addresses, 1 for the external interface itself which is used to source all outbound requests (NAT/PAT) and at least 1 more IP address to service the inbound requests (via ACL/Conduit).
My question is whether the PIX 501 is the same way. I would like to use it as my SOHO solution, but I have web, ftp, mail and DNS services that I need to advertise, and my provider only issues a single (I could get multiple, but fail to see how it would help) DHCP address. Can the PIX 501 do this over a single DHCP obtained IP address? Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to mess with the PIX 501, and don't want to shell out the $$$ unless I am reasonably certain it can do what my GNATBox can. TIA.
