If I read your question correctly, you want to assign the firewall to serve
multiple IPs? You can do that if you really want to (the NIC will have
eth0:0, eth0:1, etc. for as many ips as you assign to it), but most web
servers allow you to look at the incoming request and show the appropriate
page.
For example, www.here.com and www.there.com could both go to the same
machine, but the webserver reads the "Host Header Name" to determine which
web page to show. I know apache lets you do this. Look for config options
for "Virtual Servers" I believe. It's been a while, so I don't recall the
exact parameters you would need to change.
If you really want to use multiple IPs, that should work also. You just
setup the firewall rules for the appropriate eth0:? number and that should
take care of it.

Gregory:
Thanks. That is what I think.
IF I have more websites with different IPs, Does the firewall will
redirect differet incoming request to different sites?
I guess I am going to use IPchain. and I think it will work. am I right?
TIA
