ASA 5505 config with multiple WAN IPs

Hi,
I would like to replace our watchguard filewalls with Cisco ASAs.  What is the capability of multiple public IP addresses?  I have a block of 6 that I have setup on the WatchGuard box, and they are all bound to the external NIC and are configured to route to different internal servers/services.  I did try to configure an ASA 5510 at another site in a similar manor.  I had port 0 ast the main wan connection, then I tried to configure port 1 with the next public IP in our range, and it told me I could not have the 2nd IP, the subnet range overlapped.  So, is there an easy way to assign more then one public IP to the ports on the ASA like the WatchGuard?
Thanks - Wayne

The ASA supports "dual isp" with SLA route tracking. That means that you get a redundant outbound internet-connection since the ASA tracks the primary ISP. If it fails the default route will be removed and the "secondary" default route pointing to the secondary ISP will become active.

But this is only for outbound traffic, since you cannot "move" your public ip:s from one ISP-connection to another without the use of BGP which the ASA doesnt support.

Hi ffleisma,
We are trying to the ASA for the following:
1. SSL and outlook over the internet going to mail.domain.local
2. Cisco SSL vpn client
3. Sharepoint to sharepoint.domain.local
I am not sure if the exchange box and the sharepoint box need separate wan IP addresses due to port 80.
I got around the OWA/ smart phone SSL issue by assigning port 444 for the SSL vpn client, using the same public IP for both.  But what I would like to do is use three of the public ip addresses, one for exchange, one for sharepoint, and one for the cisco SSL vpn.  In the watchGuard box it is fairly simple to add a second, third, etc.. public IP to the wan NIC and then setup the port mappings to the separate lan IPs.  I am proposing to replace the WatchGuard box with a cisco ASA, and want to be sure we can support what is already setup.
Clear as mud huh?
