Sometimes I connect other machines through dhcp inside it and then I need
masquerading.

Is there a way of not masquerading static IPs on the inside?

My setup is like this:

                        ADSL router
                         Static IP
                             |
                            eth0
                         Static IP
                          Firewall
                 (with many servers running)
                         RFC1918 IP
                            eth1
                             |
                           Switch
                             |
                            LAN
                  Machines with static IPs
        Sometimes machines with RFC1918 IP via DHCP

Note: "|" is used above to show cables between machines/devices.
