On my home network, I am currently using IP-masquerading (aka NAT)
on my linux gateway to provide internet access for the local net.
This has been working fine in general, but I have some problems
with internet multiplayer in certain games that I believe are due
to the IP-masqing.  My ISP provides public addresses via DHCP, but
I prefer having static addresses on the local net.  I was wondering
if I could use both public & private addresses via IP Aliasing.

Would this work?

         Internet
             |
             |
Gateway |- eth0 public dynamic address
        |- eth1:0 bridged with eth0
        |- eth1:1 private static address
              |
Local Net |- eth0:0 public dynamic address
          |- eth0:1 private static address


Thanks in advance,
Conway S. Smith
