I seem to have become the defacto administrator of 
a webserver at my church.  It is running Winbloze 2000 Server with IIS 
5.  One of the groups in my church has developed a nice website for their 
ministry on apache/linux and are willing to donate the server to the church for 
this use.  Now for the problem.  They have a domain name registered, 
but the church is out of external IP addresses and does not want to buy 
more.  Is there a way to have a user hit the main church web site on an 
internally nat'd IIS server(mapped to a valid external IP address) and provide a 
link to the linux/apache server that does not have a valid external IP 
address?  I have the option of letting apache listen on some other port 
other than 80 and using the main external address, but I'm not sure if this is 
the best solution.  Is there any way that you guys and gals know of that I 
can do some sort of "virtual" web hosting between apache and IIS?  

 
Any suggestions other than scrap the IIS server, as 
that's not currently an option although I'm looking at that?  Along those 
lines, have any of you converted an IIS website to apache/linux?  What did 
the FrontPage Users do?  These users are all as novice as one could be and 
still do some web development so telling them to use FTP and vi won't 
fly!
