One possible reason is to host multiple domains off one IP and still be able to offer
unique web sites, which is what I've done for home... I have a simple perl script
and html page that is used to detect the incoming URL and then dispatches to the
domain (still the same domain & IP) and proper IP port (for that domain) which the
port could be set to pass into the internally masqed LAN using tools like TIS plug-gw
and others I'm sure...
