Re: [cobalt-users] multiple web servers behind firewall

["Nathan Martinez" <nathanm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have name-based hosting setup right now...but it is only on one machine.
How would I go about having outside requests to the same IP address go to a
different internal ip address?  Can name-based hosting do this for me?  Do I
just have a webserver setup on the firewall that has all of the virtual
hosts setup pointing to the correct internal IP address?  I am going to
setup some test machines tomorrow and try some different stuff.  I will
report my findings if anyone is interested.
