      Is it possible to setup name-based port forwarding in pfSense?

      For example…
      pfSense box: domain.com (1 Public I.P. Address)
      LAN Server 1: server1.domain.com
      LAN Server 2: server2.domain.com

      Could I possibly configure pfSense to act appropriately in the following situations:
      External client opens http://server1.domain.com in their web browser, and pfSense forwards port 80 to Server 1 on the LAN. I'd want the same to occur for Server 2 of course.

      I am certainly open to suggestions if there's a better way to accomplish this.

      Oh, there is one caveat...
      I cannot use multiple ports to do this. These servers are on an internet connection other than the one provided by our company. Other employees need to access these servers from the company's internet connection and can only use port 80. Our I.T. department really has their internet locked down. There is NO way around it.

      Thank you,
      Chris

        no.
        but you can create an alias.
