As long as you have only one public IP address, you'll have to put a device 
(sofware or hardware) between your servers (private IP addresses), and the 
internet.
That can be NAT, but the port issue is not very nice for clients. Or, that can 
be a proxy, who will act almost like a NAT, but on the application level.
Your proxy can be an Apache Server, with mod_proxy, setup to forward client 
requests for www.hello.com to server1, and www.test.com to server2. That's not 
an unusual setup. 
That could also be a Layer 7 switch, but it's very expensive, doing exactly the 
same job (somewhat easier to configure).
