But even with 5 IP addresses, you will eventually run into a situation where you want service X to have the usual public port, but need to be forwarded to 5 or more servers based on domain name. Right away I can see say 6 domains, each of which need ssh access. How do you handle the 6th domain without resorting to using different ports? Replace ssh with FTP, or POP3, or IMAP, or... I know this problem has been handled - take a look at all the hosting companies out there that provide web/mail/ftp services to multiple domains, but have a small pool of IP addresses. I also know I can get my current situation working by fudging each of the services individually. But there has to be a better way. Something like "all traffic for domain x.com goes to internal IP x.x.x.x, but ftp traffic for that domain goes to y.y.y.y", but the domain must be the domain name - not the resolved IP. Kinda like a reverse proxy - but for more than http. Still digging....
