Yea, if that is what they are doing. But usually when I have seen this the
ISP is only giving one address even though it is a Private address.
Essentially it is just the same as if they gave a single Public IP other
than it is private instead.
So you end up doing your own NAT on top of thiers so that there is sort of a
"back-to-back dmz" between your own segment the Internet with the private
segment that they have you on as the "dmz". This of course really hampers
flexability and isn't a very good service. I personally wouldn't want an
account with such an ISP but there are some doing things that way.
