Hey all
=20
we=B4ve done that 6 weeks ago! our isp also discontinuing its service,
they told us that at a monday...5 days later the pipe and the ip=B4s =
were
gone....that was "fun" ;-)
i called that a very sticky situation :-D
how we solved our "little" problem (and you=B4ll also):
=20
we host our own webserver, emailserver and own dns. we have cable
(2mbit) with no up/download limit. ~ 1400 EUR / month. we got 16 IPs and
our firewall has 3 NICs (dmz,lan,inet)
check out some ISPs, if you have chosen one, the will come to your
hospital and install a router which manages all the traffic. i think
your situation is not that different to our, so (after you got the ISP
and he installed the router) it=B4s easy:
the router from the ISP is now your standard gateway, you have to
connect the firewalls internet nic to the router. the rest is easy too:
just change the IPs in your firewall config, and everything should work
fine.
=20
our ISP has a secondary dns we can use, and the primary is in our
company. you should get an ISP who also do that DNS stuff
=20
if you=B4ll have some question, ask me. it=B4s not that long time ago =
:-)
=20

One thing I would recommend is to ensure that someone else is hosting a
backup record of your DNS.  The redundancy helps if you have any
problems put
the web server in a DMZ use it to host the external DNS records as well.

You will still need to get the pipe from someone, and what we have done
is to
use them as our Secondary DNS servers. (No extra charge is good)
I had to go through this about two years ago and it isn't that bad to
do,
quite fun actually. Found out that years before we had our own IP and it
wasn't being used. Now we pay for traffic only. You'll need to look at
the FW
to see what needs to be changed as well, since you will be using your
own IP.
Our FW now has 5 NIC's as we also have a few branches and it kept things
interesting when we went through it. 
Hope this helps, good luck
Ken

This sounds like a cool challenge Doug, although it is something I
personally
have not done, it should be pretty staight forward, you will need to
purchase
your own IP addresses, and I think you can do it from here (but its not
cheap):

You also need to have your own DNS server, so you can maintain your own
records and sync with the other DNS servers.

Here is another link that may provide some useful information:

Hope this helps
