RE: Single public IP address

Sure it is..  Certainly not recommended, but possible:  Grab a linux box
with a couple nic's..   Setup ip forwarding, a vpn package, and port forward
80 & 443 to a specific internal ip.  By no means is this a good way to do
things, but you can if you want.

Subject: Single public ip address



Is there a way to have a single ip address do the following:

1)Function as the outside interface of a firewall.
2)Use that same public ip address, and outside interface to function as a
vpn server.
3) Have the same public ip address PAT to a public web Server on the dmz.

The goal is to have the outside interface of a firewall, vpn server, and a
public webserver to share the one public ip address.

Is this possible?  I'm convienced it isn't possible, but I might be missing
something.  Any insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
