Vending Applications on private address servers through one public address

[Chad Pilkington]

What I would like to do is have one OSX server with a public IP
address and a private IP address and multiple OSX servers with private
IP addresses. The private servers would have the instances of the
WebObjects applications on them. All the requests from the web would
come to the public IP server which would more or less work as a proxy
and would vend the instances of the applications on the private IP
servers. Is such a thing possible? If so can anyone direct me to a
resource on how to set it up.

I know that the JavaMonitor Load Balancing does something similar but
I believe, I could be wrong, that the other servers need to have
public IPs that have the application instances. I also don't need
multiple instances of the same webobjects application.

You are making it too complicated. That is how WO is normally run. The public facing server runs Apache with the mod_webobjects module. It accepts traffic only on 80 and 443 (for SSL) on that IP. The other servers run the WO apps. mod_webobjects is the proxy.
