Multiple Domains with One IIS

I am not sure if this is the right NG for this questions. But I am sure
some of you folks might have dealt with this situatioin.

I want to use just one physical box to provide www service for a few
domains, each has its own FQDN and public IP address. Here is what I am
doing:

1. In network properties, configure multiple private addresses on the LAN
interface of the server.
2. In IIS management, create different web sites, each with its own private
IP.

There is a router which connected our office with the ISP using a full T1.
We have been given 16 addresses (13 available for use). If I were to run 6
web sites, I am wondering if I would need 6 router/firewall to be set up. I
don't want to expose the web server directly to the Internet. A DMZ has to
be set up.

Are any of these site going to need SSL? If not stick
them all on one IP and use host headers. This way you're
only burning up one IP and one port (80) in your
firewall. It's less to manage. I'm running 3000+ sites
like this.

Peace,
Mark
