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?

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!

I once setup a linux/apache web server to use frontpage extensions, but
we never got a chance to use it.  The professor who "desperately needed"
this feature didn't "need" it after I installed it.  :(

Do a search for apache, linux and frontpage extensions.
