How to use multiple virtual web servers with one 1 public IP address?

[Daariimaa]

I'm working on a solution where we will be setting up 40 virtual web servers on a single server using Linux Redhat and VMWare .

Unfortunately, we only have 3 free public IP addresses to use, so I  need to have a basically a single public IP which would route a request  to the appropriate server. All web server using TCP 80 port.

which kind of solution in cisco router and switch ?

Hi

PAT (Port Address translation) will be the answer, you'll need to set this up on you router or edge firewall.
