It _can_ be dynamic, but it is not a requirement,
after all, is the pipeline really going to know
if I just happen to randomly assign it the same IP every time? ;^)

yes, it does work, and I even have one customer
with a nailed up connection (perm/switched)
that is doing this with one address -> 30 internal hosts,
works fine except that they have to reboot their router
every few days to clear up NAT buffers or something,
but that's just because its a 24x7 connection...
