[Labs-l] saving up some public IP by using a common proxy?

Tue Oct 2 18:46:25 UTC 2012

you could even do a kind of reverse hostname thingie based off the internal
IP of the project(129.168.0.123.domain.com), or a interface to add the
hostname into the system, maybe even a NAT setup of sorts, a control panel
that uses a small set of public IPs and can give ports out (This is good
for non webbased stuff)
