Firewall help


Hello,

As of now i have a firewall/router for each server that has its own ip address. However, running out of plugs and frustrated with so many networks is there a firewall out there that will allow me up to at least two ip-address. Most everything i see has one WAN on it and i want two. Basically im trying to grow my network.

thanks

Is NAT (Masquerading) not an option for you? You can cut all of those WANS down to just one. Also Allow whatever ports you need for your servers to communicate to the outside world

Will nat allow me to have 1 wan except information from two ip-address? Sorry, this is all fairly new to me.

Let me better explain myself or at least try.

Think of it like this.

I have two web/name servers with the following setup.

1- 24.24.24.39

Internet --> router/firewall --> webserver Number 1 (public)

2- 24.25.25.39

Internet --> router/firewall --> webserver number 2 (private)


What im trying to do, if possiable


Internet --> firewall/router -- 24.24.24.39:80 -->webserver number 1
"---------------------------------"-- 24.25.25.39:80 --> webserver number 2

Currently my router/firewall only allows me to grab information from one ip address. Im however, looking for something that will bind to both and allow me to direct traffic for each ip-address to both machines.

sorry if im confusing.
