This ADSL connection comes with 16 static IPs. One IP is assigned to the nix 
router. Another to the Samba. I do not want to do port forward to the samba 
machine as some service ports are being used on the nix router. By doing the 
above setup, i was hoping that the local users can access samba via LAN and 
remote users can ftp files to the samba machine via the public IP. And i can 
ssh to it to do maintenance when i am not in the office.
