For my web development/testing set up, I'm currently running a
publicly accessible website behind a Netgear router. The router has a
public IP and routes port 80 requests to my Win 2K workstation. No
problem.

I now want to run both Apache and IIS on different boxes and have both
respond to public HTTP requests on port 80 (for different Internet
domains obviously). In addition, I want both boxes to be accessible
from within my internal LAN. The Apache server will continue to run on
Win2K Pro, and the IIS server will run on Win 2003 server.

I have 5 static IP's. I'm thinking I might be able to do this by using
two NIC's on the IIS/Win 2003 box, one assigned a public IP, the other
assigned an internal IP. The Netgear router will continue to use a
different public IP and route traffic within the LAN. Since this is a
bit tricky (for me) to fully describe, I have a diagram here:

Will this set up work so that the two boxes can see each other within
the LAN and each can also act as public web server on port 80? Is
there a better way? (I thought of assigning two IP's to a single NIC
but I need different gateways for the internal LAN and Internet WAN,
and that apparently won't work in the windows environment).

I'm by no means a network expert and am new to Windows server, so any
links to further resources on this issue would be great. Thanks in
advance.
