/29 Network - IP Addresses

Question

Hi All,

First post so go easy please [:)]

Just about to cutover to a software UTM (free home edition) and was wondering if anyone knows how my IP addresses for ADSL connection will work.

My ISP provides me a static WAN IP and also they route a /29 to me which the WAN IP is *not* part of.

Will I have to do anything special to NAT incoming services that were destined to any of the /29 addresses, like for example define them all individually as hosts and then choose them as the targets for the NAT rules ?

Any advice/help appreciated.

Cheers.

Bad form to reply to one's own post but I have got this to work; 
 
1. Create network host definitions for each individual external public IP that you want to NAT 
2. Do *NOT* create additional addresses 
3. Do *NOT* attempt to define/modify an interface that has anything to do with these public IP addresses 
4. Add NAT and firewall rules as usual 
 
So really just do steps 1 and 4 and you should be good to go. :) 
 
Hope this helps someone else. Thanks for all your help and suggestions.
