Depending on how you setup your ‘Firewall’…you
could have all of these services plus more on a single external IP address… I do Web hosting and have around 80
websites, SSH and more on a single IP address as well as 20 Mail servers on an
other single IP address…but I could have had all of this on a single IP.
The only thing you really need multiple IP addresses for on the internet is SSL
websites…this is a security thing and SSL traffic can only be bound to a
single IP on port 443…you could however have multiple SSL services
running on different ports…443, 10443, 10444, 10445, 65535, ETC. all
bound to the same IP address but this would require proper redirection scripts
on the websites…not a problem but people like just seeing https://www.site.com/ and not https://www.site.com:10444/ As far as DNS…you only TRULY need
reverse lookup zones if you want people to be able to look up your server names
via IP…this is important with a lot of the e-Mail black lists. Reverse
look up doesn’t require the host to have an External IP address BUT to
use it properly anything that resides in your Reverse lookup zone should be an
actual REAL box on the internet. Reverse lookup management could get ugly if
you do not know what you are looking at within the zone… Anyone else have anything to add to this? -Yorke From: Andrew Critchlow
