[NTLUG:Discuss] Graphical Explanation

Your setup looks pretty easy to set up except for one major stumbling block.
There's no way to have 2 machines on the internal network respond to the
same port. For example, you have 2 NAT'ed machines listening on port 80.
When a request comes in for a connection on port 80, how would the
firewall/NAT box know which machine it should forward the request to?

If you kept the port number different between all the different machines
(for example, running your mail-web service on port 8080 or something), then
your setup is pretty easy to accomplish.

I have tried explaining what it is, exactly, we are trying to achieve.

I have not been too terribly successful, so I quickly threw together a
project page.
