Transparency in the firewall

My DSL connection is getting hooked up in two weeks. My goal is to
place my old 486 with a pair of NE2000's between me and the rest of
the world. Has anyone implemented IP filtering without assigning the
external interface an IP address? Eventually, I'd like to get a set of
8 static IP's from USWest, and NAT them to an internal network number
so I can assign printers and such IPs on my internal subnet. However,
I don't want to squander IP's on both interfaces if I can avoid it.
Presumably, if this is unavoidable, I'd want to use bridging on my
"firewall"?

Has this sort of thing been done, and how did you do it?
