You can assign a /30 between the router and each computer, they can be adjacent 
within a larger subnet, but not overlap. Enable forwarding of packets between 
interfaces, and instead of using NAT, you can have the upstream configure a 
static route pointing to your subnets, or to a single aggregated subnet that 
encompasses all of them. If you are manually configuring each device on the 
network you won't need DHCP.
