Multiple static IP's on FVS-318N
I have multiple static IP's from my internet provider. At the moment, I have various publicly available servers simply plugged into a five port hub off the cable modem and one of the static IP's set...
I'm still trying to setup a 2nd inbound static IP on an FVS318Gv2. I'm pretty sure it is the firmware bug, since I set this up on the exact same network with an FVS336G. The whole outbound policy is a wild goose chase. It never was needed before?
Here's a description of setting up a 1 to 1 NAT with a 2nd public IP - no mention of outbound policy is made - and this looks exactly like my fvs336g and fvs318Gv2 setup - except the 336 worked and the 318 doesn't for the 2nd public IP:

I'm still trying to setup a 2nd inbound static IP on an FVS318Gv2 with the latest firmware as of today (since previous firmwares all had their own various bugs). I'm pretty sure it is the firmware bug possibly related to impromper subnet handling, since I set this up on the exact same network with an FVS336G. The whole outbound policy is a wild goose chase. It never was needed before?

This also is the same as page 165 of the actual manual for the fvs318gv2:

The outbound rule is needed only when the server is sending traffic out without being solicited first. Think of the inbound rule. The firewall remembers that when it came to your static IP, to respond with that same IP. However if a server sends out traffic and is not responding, without the outbound rule it would use the devices WAN IP. That is the purpose of having the outbound rule, and based on what you said earlier that all traffic from the device needs to use that one IP, it seems to be needed.
Yes, that makes sense. Sorry, I think I should open a new thread on my particular issue.
