You can do both (and a whole lot more) with a single IP address. Why
do you want more?

Bummer. But as I mentioned, I don't think you need more than one.
Using a decent gateway setup (I prefer FreeBSD and ipfilter), any given
protocol (e.g. http, ftp, telnet) can be easily redirected from your
gateway to any inside IP address. This should meet your needs.

You are new to the list. You get one strike and one only. Save such
comments for the newsgroups. I only wish you had checked with
Saturn, Paradise, or us before you signed up. Hope it's not too big of a
disappointment for you.

Given your excellent start, I'm sure people, including the Paradise staff
on this list, will be jumping to help you. The main reason we don't allow
slanging matches here is because staff, such as those from Paradise,
are here to help, learn, watch, and support. As such, I will not tolerate
any attacks such as yours.

If you didn't notice, the concept behind the list is mutual help, support,
and lobbying. The slanging matches are left for the newgroups.
