      This is all done in DNS, but you don't have to have 2 IPs since those services live on different ports.

          Sorry mail server is usually 25, 110, and the sercure ports also. If you plan on using a web enabled mail server, then yes 2 servers, 2 IPs used. zone edit is usually:

          <ip>          A          <hostname>.

          See your ISP or DNS provider for more details.</hostname></ip>

            If only your webmail service uses port 443 then you can get around it with HA Proxy or similar. Otherwise yes, for all services other than HTTP you need one WAN IP for each service you want to share a port.
