Why would you need to randomize the IPs behind your firewall? Anybody outside your firewall would just see the IP address of the router, not the addresses of each individual computer on the network.
There's DHCP that most routers have built in that can be used to automatically assign an IP address. You can set the expiration period to anything you want, at which time it will assign a new IP. Unfortunately it will tend to assign the same IP address over and over again unless it gets snatched up by another computer between release and renew.
If it's anonymity you want then you need to use proxies to mask your router's IP address.
TOR is a pretty simple solution.
