I mixed my metaphors, I was talking about the NICs on the firewall, 1 for
internet, 1 for DMZ, 1 for your internal network. 1 ip for your firewall to
communicate to the external world, the other 4 are the DMZ (which communicate
thru the firewall).

I suppose, but don't you have to pay for that then?

Makes sense. Why isn't the netmask 36 bits? Isn't it 4 bytes long? How do I
figure out what the range of IPs I have if I know my netmask and I know the
first IP.
i.e. if I'm using netmask of 255.255.255.248 and my IP = 192.168.1.0
