I have a question about our Firewall-1 version 4.1. We have an external IP address that we use for video conf. using NetMeeting. My problem is that now the company wants to add another video conf. setup to another room and they want these rooms to be used at the same time. My question is, is there any way to do this using the same external IP address? I would like to have conf1.company.com go to room 1 and conf2.company.com go to room 2. Each room will have a PC with a different internal IP. I can do this by adding another external IP address but I just don't want to waste our external IP's.
 
Hi,

There is a way to assign (NAT) 2 Public IPs to one machine but I do not know of a way to assign 1 Public to 2 Privates.

If all connections are initiated from your internal network then you can use hide NAT on the two internal IP address's but this stops connections being initiated for the external site.

OR

This will probibly work better. investigate load balancing using logical servers (i have never done this so dont know how to set it up but look at the network object, logical server then click help and look at load balancing)
I also dont know if there are any licencing issues
the session can be set so that once a conection is made it stays with the same server
