The real question is, why?  What are you trying to accomplish?  
Having "real" IP addresses is pointless unless you're offering
services, in which case they need to be static and routable, in which
case dynamic addresses defeat the purpose.  If you have two clients in
the house and no gateway, then two available assignments is great for
you and easy for them.  In your case, you have a dedicated gateway, so
why not use NAT on that firewall, and sleep better?
