Yes you can do route the publics over a internal private ip network but of course you do not want/need to nat. Drawback (advantage) is that people on the outside can not traceroute through your internal network because you use private ips but that don't prohibit them from reaching the public ips on your inside internal network.
This is sent from a machine with a public of 12.x.x.158 in between the location I'm at and my core router (connected to my upstream) I have 2 routers with ONLY private ips. / Eje -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Robert West Sent: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 4:48 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] Public IP behind Transparent Bridge I hear ya. If not by bridging, what other option could be used to move the public IP? I NAT everything, public IP's big mega mucho $$ for me, hate it. Can you route the public through a network that is all NAT?

Yup. I can vouch for Josh Luthman's instructions. Heck, I have the whole "turn a pair of Mikrotik radios into transparent bridges" instructions down to a one-pager, suitable for the field techs to use. While many on this list preach that bridging is bad (and they're often right), the ability to turn a pair of boards into an easy drop-in replacement/upgrade for older bridging-only gear (Trango 5800, I'm looking at you) is a powerful one.
