if you've got 2200 ips internally and only 600 externally, I cannot  
help but think to myself:
"you're doing it wrong"

I think you've been convinced to do something fundamentally broken and  
it needs to be
fixed at the lower level before you proceed...  unless there's some  
other piece of data here
that I'm not aware of.
