Ehrm...

This really isn't so hard.

Requirements:
1. Run Apache  (Win32 or *nix ... doesn't matter)
2. See "Virtual Hosts".
3. Give each site a different name.  e.g.  site1.myhost.com
site2.myhost.com etc

Apache will respond by serving up the virtual server content based on the
inbound request from your customer.  If you set up ALL your virtual servers
to the same IP address/port (12.34.56.78:80) your web server(s) can hang out
behind STN just fine.

I've run as many as 10, and am currently running eight this way.

HopeItHelps
