No, no, no, what *I* want and what about 10^7 other sites want is this...

    client A       W         	server C
                    firewall	server D    
    client B                   	server F
						server G 
						server H 
						server I 
						server K

Now that's what *I* call a one to many mapping.
You come up with a good way to do this and you'll be famous.

One public address, and a 10.x.x.x of internal addresses and web servers.
POW! The address space problem just went away. 

Well, we can dream can't we ?

(maybe I should have littered this with smileys so I don't get flamed.  Oh
well)
