I am assuming that you have one of those RAID cabinets that hooks up
to your server using external SCSI connectors.
You can use Linux's software RAID0 or RAID1 to combine the three
drives into a single partition. This logical partition can then be
used as a single mount point.

Linux does support masquerading, but I am not quite sure what you're
asking. I do use masquerading at home and have a DNS server on my
gateway machine that services requests internally.

Are you using wu-ftpd?
