One-to-one NAT
From DD-WRT Wiki
One-to-one NAT (aka Static NAT) is a way to make systems behind a firewall and configured with private IP addresses (those addresses reserved for private use in RFC 1918) appear to have public IP addresses.¹
I'm using this type of setup, with three public IPs. WRT54GL v.1.1 with DD-WRT RC6 and it works just fine.²
I have done following:

Setup
Startup
Set up new public static IP on dd-wrt WAN interface vlan1. This must be done for each public static IP and should be save to the Startup script using the Save Statup button.
ifconfig vlan1:1 PUBLIC_IP1 netmask NETMASK broadcast BROADCAST ifconfig vlan1:2 PUBLIC_IP2 netmask NETMASK broadcast BROADCAST
Examples:
ifconfig vlan1:1 173.xxx.xxx.249 netmask 255.255.255.240 broadcast 173.xxx.xxx.255 ifconfig vlan1:2 173.xxx.xxx.250 netmask 255.255.255.240 broadcast 173.xxx.xxx.255
Firewall
SNAT/DNAT
route all packets for the new public ip, to a certain local ip
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i vlan1 -d PUBLIC_IP -j DNAT --to-destination LAN_IP
masquerade returned packets from the local ip to the public ip
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o vlan1 -s LAN_IP -j SNAT --to-source PUBLIC_IP
translate anything else from the lan to the "main" router ip
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o vlan1 -s LAN_SUBNET (ex. 192.168.1.0/24) -j SNAT --to-source MAIN_IP
PORT FORWARD
forward port X to above local IP
iptables -I FORWARD -p tcp -i vlan1 -d LAN_IP --dport X -j ACCEPT
You could also replace above rule with the following:
iptables -I FORWARD -p all -i vlan1 -d LAN_IP -j ACCEPT
which instead of forwarding just a single port, will let through all tcp/udp connections on all ports to this public ip-->lan ip.
With other words, no firewalling what so ever.
