If you do something like



Router|----+----|ed0     ed1|---- internal network 206.117.19.64/26
           |
           +-- external network 206.117.19.0/26


you could run 62 addresses on the "external net".  But if you have any
appletalk traffic on those hosts you defeat the purpose of the exercise.
