13 IMAP proxying is also possible (for example, uw-imapproxy does the
14 job)... Don't know for the SSH part (never find it useful as i don't
15 publish ssh to external network)...

17 The fact is that http reverse proxy is hostname based (virtual hosts)
18 which means that even with only 1 IP, you can host several websites ...
19 That's not the same for IMAP or SSH ... because thoses services are not
20 hostname based...
21
22 If you want to publish only 1 IMAP server to external network (for
23 example, imap.domain.tld), there's no problem then ... proxying or
24 nating is the way it's usually done (via DMZ for the NAT part).
25 Else, if you want, with only 1 IP, to publish several IMAP servers to
26 external networks without using "exotic" tcp/udp ports, then, that's a
27 bit trickier, and needs some studies...
28
29 Ofcourse, SRV feature exists in DNS system, but there are not that
30 useful except for kerberos service and such ... not for imap or ssh...
