RRAS/NAT on Win2003

I use Windows Small Business Server 2003 to serve several functions on
our small network: file server, exchange server and firewall. The
server has two network interfaces: internal (192.168.16.2) and
external (67.100.185.126). Everything works perfectly. However, I
would like to add a Web Server inside the local network, behind the
"firewall". I will have a 2nd public IP (assume it is 67.100.185.125),
but I would like to assign that IP to the Small Business Server's
external interface, and have it forward requests on to the internal,
private IP of the Web Server (say, 192.168.16.3). I don't want to
connect the Web Server directly to the router using a 2nd network
interface, if I can avoid it.

I have looked around quite a bit, including this group, to find how I
would set things up in RRAS to do this correctly. But I haven't found
what I need. I hope I have described the situation well enough, and I
greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thanks so much...Guy

That is a pretty standard way to handle the situation. It is called
static mapping. Most NAT routers, including RRAS will let you map a public
IP to a private IP.
