Static /29 where main ip is in subnet

[thorer01]

Thank you ahead of time for any help.

I have a new dedicated server. Server has two physical nic's. Only one is connected with a static /29 assigned.

I installed Debian Jessie, and then installed Proxmox on top of that.

On the physical interface, the first IP in the subnet is the gateway and the last is the broadcast. Its ip is the first assignable ip in the range.

As I spin up VM's or containers, I want to assign the other available ip addresses to my other servers.

I created a bridge with the same subnet, and then a VM with an IP in the subnet and the gateway the same as the host.

Am I approaching this wrong? I want to apply a "routing" model where it is all happening on the proxmox host, and not in a public/private network with a virtual router.
