When you map one IP address to Many domains, the HTTP header
is used.  This is typically referred as "HOST HEADER" redirection.

What you need is a reverse proxy which ISA supports.  Address translations
at the IP header are imaterial?  The ISA server gets the information from
the HTTP header -- read URL (eg GET http://xxx.domain.com/page).
