    Do you really need more than one static public IP? Even though you have
    2 servers, are they not, say, a web server and a mail server or
    something? What I mean is: don't they do different things? You could
    tell the world through DNS that all the services you offer come from the
    gateway/firewall, and forward only those ports needed for the services
    to the servers on the inside. This is all very straightforward with
    SuSEfirewall2, but you'll wind up needing a dual DNS server process
    strategy in any case.
