You can implement private IP address (RFC 1918) regardless whether PPPoE is implemented or not. At the gateway, you will do a NAT (many to one, one to one) or port forwarding for certain services that you would like to host.
There is no necessity to have real (public) IP for the devices, aPPO or aBO since there are just layer 2. So you can have different range of IP pool for the client PC. To manage the devices, either the config PC's IP address will be the same IP subnet as the device or thru routing via the gateway.

I'm in the middle of pooling all of my IP space and trying to figure the best solution for how to implement the network, and I have a customer "hold" list waiting for me to figure it out... :o\ Right now, I'm running real IP's on all of my APPO/ABO units, as well as at the customer PC / Router. I would like to get away from that if at all possible. The client IP and the ABO IP dont need to be on the same network do they? Thanks for any tips / suggestions.
