it depends on what you mean. if you want to have three,
separate, distinct ftp servers that have nothing to do with
each other, you have to use different ports for each one and
port forward them separately. every client needs to know
which ports to connect to. and they'll get it wrong most of
the time so it's not worth bothering with this scheme.
if you just want to load share across three ftp servers,
just use multiple ipmasqadm commands where the only
difference is the -L option argument. you can also add a
-p option with an argument that specifies the weight to
apply to each server (so if one ftp server is twice as
powerful as the other two you might have -p 10, -p 10 and
-p 20 at the end of each of the ipmasqadm commands.
