Well, that's where your iptables DNAT rules come in... you translate from a
public IP address to a private IP address for each server so that people on
the outside can access your internal machines (I assume that is what you are
trying to do?).

So long as you are using protocols which do not mind being NATted, this works
fine. Routing is automatic.
