Actually, this is really easy if you want to set up an Apache server
on the IPMasq box.

Then, just look up ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse directives at
www.apache.org.

Then, requests to your Rogers gateway can be proxied by setting up
VirtualHosts on the IPMasq server and ProxyPass'ing the requests to
the actual servers behind your gateway.

For example, in httpd.conf on your Rogers box:

<VirtualHost 24.x.x.x>
    ServerName www.domain1.com
    ServerAlias *.domain1.com
    ProxyPass / http://10.0.0.2
    ProxyPassReverse / http://10.0.0.2
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 24.x.x.x>
    ServerName www.domain2.com
    ServerAlias *.domain2.com
    ProxyPass / http://10.0.0.3
    ProxyPassReverse / http://10.0.0.3
</VirtualHost>

I'm doing this, haven't ever documented it, although Apache does a
pretty good job of that.
