The clients are on rfc1918 space, or on a small chunk of a block of PI space. For normal web traffic, they get NATed as 
the outside cable modem IP address on the firewall. For traffic that is to specific places (customer sites), it is 
routed to the router. For the rfc1918 clients, they are NATed as the PI IP address on the firewall. For the clients 
that have fully routable PI addresses, they are simply routed normally.

Has worked quite well for a long time.
