Ok, you have 30 ips assigned by your ISP on your external nic. Gotcha.
You have lets say one ?private IP? on your internal nic.

Are these new ips all public ips assigned from your ISP?

Will some of these public ips be used on machines behind
the internal backup nic?

Since you have 30 ips on one nic you are well aware of
ifconfig fxp0 alias 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.255
type of usage...

How about describing your goals better and maybe I can help.
