Separate real and virtual servers for both HTTP and HTTPS?

Jeff x
I've read the manual and searched the forum but I'm still confused.

I have a web server, email server and an FTP server all on the same box behind Sophos. I have static public IP's and some websites have their own static IP while others share IP's. All websites use both HTTP and HTTPS.

Do I need to set up two (HTTP and HTTPS) virtual and real servers for each public IP address? I'm not understanding the mapping.

On my old router, I just created services for each website and forwarded the needed ports to the corresponding private IP's of each website.

    You need a separate Virtual server for each of the 8 public IPs.  Depending on your SSL certs, you will need only as many Virtual servers as you need different certs if your web servers can identify FQDNs instead of IPs.  If you only have five servers and the right ones can separate traffic based on FQDN instead of IPs, then you may be able to use fewer Virtual servers.

    Cheers - Bob
