Whenever I've done configs like this I always use a small real Ethernet
and a larger virtual Ethernet:

Pipeline: x.y.z.1/27
Firewall: x.y.z.2/27
Various servers that are outside the firewall: x.y.z.3/27 and up

With a static route on the Pipeline:

x.y.z.0/24 --> x.y.z.2

Then the firewall will receive (without using Proxy ARP) all packets
addressed to x.y.z.32 through x.y.z.255, so those are the addresses it is
free to use.

This works well and IMHO it is a clean setup.
