I run a webserver and email server on a p3 machine which is behind a smc dsl router (vbr 7004) and use NAT to redirect port 80. Now i want to add another webserver to my home network and tried adding the ip address of the new machine in the NAT table , but it just don't work . I know there's a Mod option available in apache that will redirect to the new server but i don't want it that way . I want it to be done a the router level.


any suggestions

Not sure if you can NAT that service since you already have port 80 translated to the one IP. Is your DNS pointer record for the address pointed to the same external IP and then just routed to an internalIP?
What type of firewall are u using for your NATing? Personally i just keep my OSX box in the DMZ and i am able to host 5 sites from the same box i just let apache send the request to the right realm.
You could always make the one a https site and send to NAT port 439 i think, to the other ip. Or set up a proxy.

yes my DNS pointer record for the address pointed to the same external and then routed to an internal ip, i just use the Nat and firewall from the dsl modem .

I got 2 sites in the same box but i want to have another box exclusevly for a third site.

Just use a free service like DynDNS to resolve hostname for you to a different port.
Thats a good suggestion, but i'm looking for a straight forward way of doing it, like the way big hosting providers would ..

Big hosting providers have several if not dozens of external IPS .... i know Telus hosts up to 50 web sites on one server. It all depends on the traffic. I have a client that is a school and has a bank of 36 external IPs all used for various services as there PIXs firewall does not do translation on the Application level of the OSI.
