You need to give a little more detail or explain in a different way
for  us to understand more clearly.

If you plan to use no servers at this time and only need one outside
IP [for now], just set up on  one IP and use the default gw route and
your done.

But if what you are saying is that you have a block of outside IPs and
you need to use them, just set up your machine with one of the
designated IPs and use alias's for the others.

If you plan to use a router, set up the asias's on the router and have
it allow certailn inside IPs to use the outside IPs as needed.  In
other words set the router to allow your various inside host IPs to
use outside IPs as needed.

If  you are building your own router and want an easy go of it, try
IPCop    See:  ipcop.org
With an IPCop router, you simply set up an alias and then go to Port
Forwarding and have a particular inside IP use that outside alais IP
and forward ports as needed.
