So what did the IT guy use for his router? Was he upset that he had to add more hardware?
IT was always going to use a Watchguard. I don't have a specific model, but it looks like
Watchguard XTM 515 - WG515001 or higher.
He wasn't upset at all as the separate network, or the additional static IP addresses didn't affect him at all.
He told me that in Watchguard he typed the WAN IP, Submask, Gateway and the 2 DNS addresses and he was done.
Truth be told, my limited (non-existent really) knowledge into how multiple IP addresses are handled was the culprit.
Now I know that no matter if I get 1 or a million IP addresses, all I have to do is configure my router to use one of them and that's all there is to it.
I'm still unsure how I could take advantage of the other 3 addresses,
Also, if single router can be configured to accept multiple WAN addresses, can I use single WAN port or does each IP address need to have it's own plug?
I'll read up on it when I have a free minute.
