Server: Public IP

Computer1: DHCP

Computer2: DHCP

Computer3: Public IP

In my understanding all the machines on the net work should be in the same IP range. But if most are running on DHCP would it map correctly and not attempt to access FileMaker as a WAN instead of a LAN?

Are you having a specific problem, or is this simply in the planning stages?

I would not think that there should be any problems, other than performance wise for accessing with this method. I am not even sure if performcance will be affected, assuming the systems are all connected on the same segment of the LAN.
