Chris,

Have you explored the possiblities of creating an "Extranet"?  (I've been dying 
to use that buzz word!!)

As far as I know, Gauntlet provides the capabilities to use a third network card
that you could place these web servers behind.

Folks,
     
Here's my problem.  I have Gauntlet installed with three web servers behind 
it.  The web servers are very light usage/testbeds and the machines they're 
on are used for other things.  It's not practical to move the web servers 
outside of the firewall and the network behind the the firewall has private 
(non-routable) IP addresses.  Is there any way to get to the three 
different web servers through the firewall?
     
I thought of running a web server on the firewall with an initial page that 
pointed to the other webservers, but that was rejected by managment.
     
If it were just one web server I could just plug port 80.  If they ran at 
different ports I could plug different ports--but they don't.
     
I was thinking that perhaps I could assign multiple IP address to the 
outside interface of the firewall, give the firewall different aliases with 
different IP addresses and somehow run different instances of plug-gw based 
on which IP address was connected to.  It's the "somehow" part that I'm 
having trouble with.  
     
Any ideas?
