Can I get a router with multiple DMZ capability if I can lease multiple IP addresses?

My current wireless router does not seem to have this capability but I have heard of some. I currently have my cable modem running into a LAN port instead of the WAN port with the router's DHCP disabled. Because my ISP assigns my PCs to different subnets, transfer speeds between PCs are abysmal. Can I configure a PC to act as a "smarter router" for this purpose?

Thnx!

In short, yes. You may use IPTables to do what you want. Basically, your Linux box will sit inbetween your internal network and the cable modem. You'll need at least 2 NIC's on the Linux box. Best of all, both of your PC's will be protected from potential hackers.

SMC Barricade 7004VWBR can use 10 IPs in the DMZ.
