Can I use Multiple Services on Multiple IP Addresses on one Win2k Box?

I want to run the following servers on my Win2k server:

IIS 5.0
Exchange Server
SQL Server

My ISP can give me a block of 10-20 IP addresses, can i assign a service to each one, and If i have 3 or 4 web domains, can i have each domain on its own IP?

and last, where would i go to set all this up in Win2k Pro?
 
Well if you have W2k server then you can have a multihomed server. Which according to MS definition is:

"A computer that has multiple network cards or that has been configured with multiple IP addresses for a single nework card."

Now don't ask me how to do it cause I think it ain't easy.
 
looks like you go into TCP/IP properties and under "assign IP address" hit the advanced button, and there you can assign more than one IP address to your network card.

as far as IIS goes, all the main property sheets for each server let you specify which IP you want it to listen to.

i dont know about sql server tho...(or exchange for that matter)

i would poke around in MSDN
 
Although, I should add there's no utility to giving services there own IP's, since they all use different ports and don't care about each other. The reason that some places have different IP's for different IP's is usaully that they are actually running those services on different boxes... although I suppose you might want to use different NIC's in one machine, but that would seem to be a case were load justifies more machines anyway.
