Given your scenario:

Are you using one IP address for the Domino base and Domino HTTP and then a
virtual server for the 2nd IP address?  If that is what you are doing, you
will actually free up the 2nd IP address because you won't need it for the
websites (you could use it for Websphere or something else).

External (xx.xx.xx.26) translates to 192.168.10.8 for the following hosts
(www.abc.com, www.xyz.com, www.abc-test.com) and for Domino.
These hosts would be defined as virtual hosts and not virtual servers which
allows the single IP address to be used with multiple domain names.

I'm not sure if you could run a virtual server and virtual hosts at the
same time, I think you can, but I haven't tried, so I don't know for sure.
