RE: one external IP to multiple internal IPs? Ideas?

Well, they charge $200 for two of them... maybe more.  That's what our
network guys bill us.  Maybe we're getting robbed.  Wouldn't be the first
time.  ;)

What I was really hoping was to have as a last resort was an Instance
running on the AS/400 that did the forwarding for me.  But, that would
change the URL in the browser (I think) and that wouldn't be good.

Thanks for all your help guys!
