Possibly. If you're using somebody else's IP addresses on your network, you
need a firewall that supports NAT to avoid readdressing. Otherwise, there's
usually no reason to re-address inside hosts. As long as you have the network
address range and a reasonable firewall, you shouldn't have to re-address
anything.
