Hmmmm... A few weeks ago I built a nifty little DNS project that might be interesting to newbie and pro alike. It includes two zone masters running on top of heartbeat from the ultra monkey project. It also uses VIEW to handle both internal and external DNS needs. The newbies might want to gloss over the ultra monkey / redundancy stuff, but I'll try to make some time for a recipe for this project. It could be built in an hour or two.

That being the case, you need to setup another (real) IP on that server and have the non-profit site use that IP address - while your other sites use only your original IP. Alternately, you could just start doing DNS for the non-profit as well as web. DNS is dirt-cheap to buy and very easy to setup/maintain.
