Maybe I misread your post, but a domain must resolve to an IP. If the
DNS points to the IP in the reserved space 192.168.xx.xx it won't work.

I would recommend you get some more IPs, or collocate the server for
your hosting as you will need a unique IP for each secure site, unless
you work with the wildcard cert and sub-domains as mentioned in previous
posts in another thread. I don't know what kind of bandwidth you're
paying for, but I found that it's impossible to get a big enough pipe
for as cheap per month as I can lease a RaQ.

What he has is one ip that is a web ip and a router that it is on.
The router allows passthrough to a 192.168.1.x machine.
If I have url www.domain.com and it points at a.b.c.d and a.b.c.d is the ip of the router, I can pass port 80 or all requests via the DMZ to a machine on the internal network with ip 192.168.1.x. My web page will come up just fine. I have not tried doing this with my Raq and seeing what happens with all the virtual sites though.
