we have 5 static ips, one is already asssign to the router, so the other could be assign to this web server?
or should be a different way?
No, that will work fine, then just do port forwarding for that IP address.
so you mean assign an internal or private static ip address to the web server(machine) and do a port forwarding to this ip.
That means i won't be using another static ip from the 5 taht i receive, i only use one for the router and keep extra 4.
is this correct?
