Re: HTTP forwarding, based upon host header

I am familiar with hosting multiple web sites on a single server using a
single IP address.

However this situation is a little different.

I have two web servers on the same 192.168.111.x network.

Server #1: 192.168.111.1 - xyz.com and abc.com
Server #2: 192.168.111.2 - def.com and ghi.com

External DNS is configured so that the WWW hosts for these 4 domains point
to 207.56.34.12 (for example).

207.56.34.12 is the hardware firewall.

The firewall port forwarding is set up to forward all PORT 80 requests to
192.168.111.1.

xyz.com and abc.com are fully accessible from the outside world.

But back to my original question, how can I access www.def.com and
www.ghi.com from the outside world ?
