In all operating systems, Windows,Linux, Mac Os etc. each server is 
given a port. One server = one port per computer. This means only one 
web server on port 80 no matter how many IP addresses you have. This 
means you must redirect port 80 to each web server this is done by a 
reverse proxy or a name server(DNS). Window NT servers may have a DNS 
but i have not used it. You can down load a free reverse proxy from 
"at32.com".

A reverse proxy can be used to redirect ports on a single computer or 
load balance across a network. So many computers can use the a single 
open port on your router. So you don't have to pin hole each computer on 
yuor router.
