Two Exchange Infrastructure on the same public IP Address

I am looking for a way to install two separate Exchange 2003 infrastuctures
on the same internal network.
Let's say it's for training purpose.

The present Exchange server is called EXCHSRV1 and is running on the NT
domain DOMAIN1, hosting mycompany1.com e-mail addresses.
A mapping on the external router maps the external public IP address to the
port 25 on the Exchange server EXCHSRV1.

The second Exchange server (the one which is set up for lab purpose) is
called EXCHSRV2 and will run on the NT domain DOMAIN2 and host
mycompany2.com e-mails addresses.

What can I do to make these two Exchange infrastructures share the same
external IP address, since I can't map the port 25 on the server EXCHSRV2
(the port 25 is already mapped on EXCHSRV1).

Help appreciated

Nicolas

NT? Not really, right?

Get another public IP from your ISP, or set up Exchange on EXCSRV2 to listen
on another port (e.g., 2525). If you want it to handle Internet mail, you'll
need a third party service to re-route mail from 25 to 2525 - DynDNS and
others offer such 'mail reflector' services.

Deploy a mail gateway - I would recommend MDaemon. You can set up
gateway domains and forward mail inward to each Exchange server. Each
domain can have it's own forwarding, a.com goes to server1, b.com goes
to server2. Plus, you'll love the spam blocking, real time window
logging of sessions, etc., that MDaemon does.
