But, your answer gives me what I need to know. Thank you .

I suspect I just need to connect all of them to a single router to do the DHCP and NAT, but I was just brainstorming and wondering what would happen if they each just had a direct public IP address on our internet connection (these are for open public access ONLY - I don't want them on my LAN at all). Any ideas?
