Okay, first, this is -way- off topic for the www-security list. It's
also
-way- off topic for the FW-1 list (last time I checked, that was a piece
of firewall software). However, I'll answer it in hopes that chen will
learn his answer and not post off topic to the list again (and because
I'm going on vacation tomorrow and therefore in -such- a nice mood).
Either use one of your NT (assuming you have Server and not Workstation)
boxes as a DHCP server and put all 32 addresses in there and set up a
short lease time, or set up a proxy server. The latter is a better
idea,
really, but requires more work.
As a side note, I'm not willing to help chen configure either, I've
given
a starting point, go forth and multiply.
