Yes, there's "more to it"

Each of my StaticIPs is configured with unique RDNS domains.

My current approach is to expose each one of those StaticIPs as a
separate (aliased) PPPoE intfc -- hence the ppp0:# -- as the external
interfaces of a firewall.

Then, I'll use the firewall (usual tools -- NAT, forwarding, etc) to
map traffic t & through those interfaces to various servers/services
on my LAN and DMZ segments.

So, as you suspected -- it's not just "one machine"!
