However, it is limited depending on the plan you have.  You can't simply 
plug 4 quad ethernet cards and have 16 dynamic addresses.  I don't know 
if they are actually checking how many IP addresses you used.

With standard "high speed internet", they allow 2 dynamic IP addresses 
per customer.  For bussiness packages, they allow more (5 dynamic for 
SOHO, 8 dynamic for professinal, 1 static and 8 dynamic for bussiness). 
  You can get additional dynamic and static IP addresses for a monthly 
fee, however this option is available only for SOHO, profesional and 
bussiness packages.  2 static addresses are something like $20/month.
