Sean, I have a different router than you and can't promise any similarities. 
But here is how I have myself set up to host multiple Web sites over my 
*static* IP DSL service (PacBell). If you have *dynamic* IP address 
service then I guess your router needs to be set up with DHCP. But mine is 
static. So I give the router the exact IP PacBell assigned me for DSL. My 
Internet connection and Web hosting is working and is set up as follows:

  |\__server

  \___my back-up server


Software configurations:

* The SpeedStream router has its own configuration panel, built in HTML, that 
you access from your terminal by pointing IE or Mozilla at 
http://192.168.254.254. My settings in my router are as follows:
- DSL IP address: <my "DSL" IP address>
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.248
- DNS: 206.13.28.12    <-these are pdi.net, PacBell's DNS and DNS2
- DNS2: 206.13.29.12   <-/
- ISP Gateway: 67.112.194.25

and I have the following port numbers configured in the router:
80     web
21     ftp
22     ssh
8080   java
25     SMTP
110    POP3

and the LAN IP that my router gave my server. (I found this IP by running 
"ifconfig", as root, on my server):

And the router's on-board "firewall" is ON.

* Network settings for the Ethernet cards in my terminal computer and my 
servers is DHCP, because that's how my router likes it and this seems to be 
working.

* Virtual Hosts
On my server I have several Web sites set up as named virtual hosts in:
	/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

more on virtual hosting:

It seems to be working for Web hosting.

Mailman:
I have NOT gotten Mailman successfully working yet! Arrrr.. hope to before 
October rolls in :->.
