Can RT31P2 be configured as a Bridging device?

My ISP provides me with 2 static IP's. I want to place the RT31P2 beetween the DSL modem and my ipCop firewall so that 1 static IP is used for Voip traffic and the other is passed through to the LAN side of the RT31P2 to become the WAN ip on my ipCop firewall. The reason for trying to do this is to try to take advantage of the qos feature in the RT31P2.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Many thanks for all help/suggestions.......

You might be able to add some static routes to make that work, but I'm not sure if that's possible or not.

I can think of a couple other options:
1) Only use one IP address; put IPCop into the RT31P2's DMZ.
2) Put the RT31P2 behind he IPCop box, and try to make IPCop do QoS.

qos on ipCop really doesn't do the job.

Taking advantage of the dmz on the linksys does work and voice quality is better. But still not adequate in my opinion for quality business calls compared with a regular phone line. Darn. Evil or Very Mad

Thanks for the reply!

I use this 3rd party QOS for ipcop and it works well:
