[cobalt-users] RAQ 3: IP's used -> the same one over and over for access from web?



Newbie still...more-over a design guy than a "administrator", so bear with
my question if possible:

Situation: I have a RAQ 3. I have it sitting behind my firewall which uses
an external ip (for example 24.78.24.7 <-NAT from my ISP) . Then, I have my
raq sitting behind this firewall on an internal ip I use for my LAN (ie:
192.168.45.95). I have 2 distinct domain names that I want to be available
to the internet from this RAQ, for example:

#1 - www.food.com
#2 - www.drink.com


So, I configure www.food.com to be the primary site. It uses the
192.168.45.95 IP of the RAQ. That works wonderful. But then the confusion
clouds me:

-in order for the second site to be viewable from the internet, I have to
give it the same IP as well (192.168.45.95)? Then the RAQ chucks up some
bandwidth warning that I'm not fast enough to read but it all works,
including mail. Was this the correct thing to do? I tried using .96 for the
last octet on the "virtual site" www.drink.com, but then it just simply
redirects to the site on .95 (www.food.com)

So, in closing, lets say I had 8 distinct domains, they'd all use the same
IP on the RAQ? (Plus, if anyone has eyes that can read fast enough: what
does that bandwidth error say when the same IP is saved for a virtual
site?).


Thx. Hope this made sense. Tried the archives, that's how I got this far.
Just wanted to see if I was on the right track.
