I'm not sure this is the correct mailing list. I'm not a specialist
on this either, but it looks like you need some sort of firewall.
With Mandrake is installed Shorewall, which is very easy to setup.
You can certainly use it with RedHat. I don't think the actual
connection to the outside world you are using matters.

From the doc it seems that you do not need several static IP (which
means I'm not actually answering your question !), as the firewall
can redirect specific incoming connections to machines on your local
network. See DNAT in http://www.shorewall.net/Documentation.htm#Rules
They have a mailing list:
