You cannot do what you are trying to do. The gateway only gets to see
the IP address; it cannot tell which hostname it is meant to refer to.
The closest that you can come is to either:
1. allocate one port on the gateway for each server, so that you could
use e.g.
http://linux1.somewhere.net/
http://linux2.somewhere.net:8000/
http://linux3.somewhere.net:8001/
2. redirect all connections to port 80 on the gateway to a single web
server, which then handles all of the domains.
