ok i like the idea to have static mappings to real IP addrs. that are
aliased on the out interface, how can i do that?

ok in this case i can setup my outside network like a half class C (mask
255.255.255.128) with the next ips: 208.195.117.1 - 208.195.117.127, and
the inside net with the ips 208.195.117.129 - 208.195.117.254.

Actually, the external router's ethernet port now is 208.195.117.2 with a
mask /25, i will need to change the mask here too? and if yes, why the
router indicate to me invalida mask /25? (the router is a CISCO 4000).

Other questions:

	I think if its posible to connect the firewall directly with the
Router (without a hub) with a cross cable dos it work? or is necesary to
use the hub? 

	and how can i setup the routes in the firewall?
