I don't think that you have to do it that way.

I typically can put all of the devices I need in the 4 ports on the
Actiontec and assign them the public_ip address or if I needed more, I
suppose I could add a hub to one of the Actiontec ports.

I am guessing that what you are calling the WAN address is simply
another public_ip address

As for tunneling pppoa - that doesn't make sense to me. The Actiontec
handles the pppoa connection and is the gateway device for all the other
systems that have a public_ip - thus, there is no reason to fool with
pppoa on any of the systems.

As for bridging, I thought someone said that Qwest doesn't support
bridging any longer. The Cisco 678 is capable of bridging though.
