Hi,

I hope you do not mind me post to this new group.  I have 3 windows
servers which need to be accessed from the outside.  I do not want to
move them into the ripe world.  

Would Nat be worth considering for these boxes?

And could some one point me to a good nat howto

Thanks for your input

You've posted this to the wrong newsgroup - you should post it to a 
windows group.

Do you deny him right to use Linux router/firewall for the task?! :-)

How many public IP addresses do you have? [no less than 3]

Sorry I disagree with your comment.  I do not want to use a Windows
box in a ripe enviroment.  I think that is being smart.

Fair enough. You only mentioned Windows though, so there was no way of 
knowing you weren't asking for Windows-related information. Maybe if you 
gave a little more information about what you want to do, you'd get more 
useful responses.

I'm not familiar with the term "ripe" used in this context.

You could do it with one if it's just web, there's something that runs on
IIS that can translate a subdir to another box, a kind of proxy if you
will so it will redirect http requests, e.g.

www.mydomain.com/ -> 192.168.1.20
www.mydomain.com/server2 -> 192.168.1.21
www.mydomain.com/server3 -> 192.168.1.22

I can't remember the name of this software though, there may be a Linux
(Apache) equivalent also.

Also depending on what this is for, if say for RDP access, you can
redirect ports in a NAT router so that same external address (IP) and
different port will redirect to different internal machines.
