It works <smile>.  There are other ways to do it, depending on how many
public IP#s your ISP has provided you, and just how your natting
firewall works.

I don't have any idea how you'd set up the NATting, which is probably at
issue.  Yes, this will work, except for issues like SSL.

Yes.

It warns you that you've changed a domain that shares an IP, and that
that could affect any bandwidth limitations you've got set up.  Not to
worry <smile>.
