run them all through a router before you get to the firewall. then, you 
only need 1 node. Keep the rest on private IPs behind the router. The 
only catch here is that I do not know how awesome your home network 
appliance is. Do you need to be able to have very granular logging 
capabilities? you will lose this with the router as everything will 
appear to come from the same host.
