Thank you for explaining.
I run hundreds of tryton and openerp servers behind a single IP on tens
of VMs.
I assign ports to every service, then I redirect to the right VM in
iptables. It is simpler and more efficient in my case.

Correct, I don't do it for tryton because it is not needed.(required for
openerp only)

This is safer indeed because the login page is not exposed to internet.
I support ssh tunnelling too, windows users need a shortcut with putty
embarked.
