If these are all web servers you can use "Host Headers". Each web
sites can be distinguished from all other web sites by three things.
Firstly web sites can be distinguished by IP address. Two sites with
different IP addresses are obviously different. Two sites with the
same IP address that use different ports are different. eg
www.mycompany.com (default port 80) is different to
www.mycompany.com:8080. Two sites that have the same IP address, use
the same port but have different "host headers" are different.
eg if
www.mycompany.com www.yourcompany.com both resolve to the ip
address 11.22.33.44 and they both use the default port 80, the two
sites are different if they are defined with "host headers" which are
the same as their Domain Names. You define the Host Headers in the
Advanced section of the web site definition page or when you run the
New Site Wizard..
That way you can have 10 or more sites which use the same IP address.
