HTTP forwarding, based upon host header

I've got a Watchguard X50 Edge hardware firewall connected to the internet via T1.

Inside the firewall, I've got 2 web servers, Windows 2000 Server.

The X50 has the capability to be associated to ONLY ONE external IP address (argh...).

I can easily forward all incoming PORT 80 traffic to either one of the web servers.

However, I need to be able to forward SOME incoming traffic to Web Server #1, and SOME incoming traffic to Web Server #2. Of course, this would be determined by the host header information.

So, xyz.com and abc.com are on Server #1. def.com and ghi.com are on Server #2.

Can anyone suggest a free or cheap software solution to this problem?

Thank you.

John
