[FW1] Replacing an existing FW

[srobinson@net2000.com]

the serial side IP address of my internet router is x.x.x.5 (public address)
I have a pool of 8 (6 usable) addresses for web servers. x.x.x.8/
255.255.255.248.

Can I use  private addressing between the ethernet port on the internet router
and an ethernet port of the Checkpoint FW.

example-
etherne(1) on internet router 192.168.254.5
ethernet(1) on the FW 192.168.254.6
ethernet(2) on the FW x.x.x.8

I'd use static routes on the internet router.

I can't see why I should not do it this way.

am I over looking anything?

Steve
