That is what i wanted to do, with 2 NICs to make a bridge between internet and the LAN, assign the public ip to one of the LAN machine, and prite ips to the rest of machines, and to hope it will work, seems not, i hoped i could do this. If the voip hardware/software wont work in nat with port forward, i wont change there with linux. Maybe there is a suggestion for that voip, or if i can do this with 3 NICs, and 1 single public IP.
