Since your ISP offers you the option to have two different IP, yes that |
| 21 |
the best choice. Over here I would have to pay quite some money to get |
| 22 |
an extra IP. So you're lucky I guess. |

Also, if your ISP allows PPPoA too instead of only PPPoE, use that |
| 25 |
instead. It's a bit more optimal due to less overhead. But it's not |
| 26 |
critical or something. Just a little and safe optimization. |
