If It was for a company, I'd take more than one IP. However in my home env - I don't have this option. Remember - US detains 75% of the entire IP_Address pool. The remaining 25% are shared amongst the rest of the world ... So - Static IP-Addresses are very expensive in Germany... Can't afford more than one...
