Thanks David (I'll call you next week) and Reinhard,
What are the consequences of leaving this firewall as is at this moment?
Am I going to have problems with the traffic passing trough the firewall?

Diego et al,
 
You can get a work around by putting host that use "hide" NAT behind a cisco
router and
"hide" NAT from the cisco devices.  Place all the STATIC device in front of
the the cisco router
and behind the checkpoint device.  That will solve your too many hosts
problem because
the checkpoint will also see the cisco router's IP and the STATIC NAT IPs.  
 
This may violate checkpoint licensing agreement but what the hell.
Checkpoint software is
overprice anyway so this makes sense.

that's wrong.

all internal hosts that have the fw as default gw and route traffic 
there are counted.
