Incoming HTTP to multiple HTTP servers

[Partha Mukhopadhyay <partham1 () yahoo com>]

Hello all:

I have small Java boards running http servers ( with IPs 192.168.0.*, No 
DNS ) under a firewall/router with NAT. Only the router has a public IP. 
How do I send http requests to individual boards under the router?

A. Is there a configurable firewall/router that can look at HTTP header 
info/URL to route it to particular MAC address under it? ( something like 
http://<<routerIPaddress>>/routercode.cgi?destination=192.168.0.100 ).

B. If I do it with  Linux , what’s the best way to do it? Is something 
like HTTP-Proxy (Squid?) in DMZ running on linux a possible solution? 

C. One constraint with a Linux-based solution is that the deployment is in 
the middle of nowhere – nearly impossible to deploy a Linux box where 
nobody goes for years. May be a self-hosted Linux board? Any suggestions 
there?

Thanks and regards,
Partha.
