multiple servers behind a firewall

I am trying to find a solution to a problem I have had for a while. I host websites for some people in a Co-Location rack at a local ISP.
Some people want to use their own servers instead of just putting their site on my server.
Is it possible to put multiple Windows 2003 Web Servers behind one firewall?
My gut says no since you can only forward port 80 to one private IP address on the network.
If anyone knows how I would be able to firewall multiple web servers with one box, please let me know.

It's kind of ugly. If you don't have more than one public IP, you basically have to use different port numbers for those webservers, and then forward those to their respective servers.
To surf the sites, people would have to type for theirs http://computerb.whatever.com:81

Being behind a firewall doesn't necessarily mean that your servers will be using private-network IP addresses. But even if they are, it's not realistic to ask your customers to run their webservers on a non-standard port.
I'm sure your colo host would be happy to sell you additional public IP addresses. You should buy an address for each additional server you plan on hosting. That way each server can host as many websites as needed on its own IP address without the need for port forwarding.
