   ok... hummm... are they sharing the same JAM bases between those BBSes?? do   
   they all use the same FTN address? if not then they will need a FE setup for   
   each BBS instance... even if they are all on the same machine... that means   
   either copying packets destined for the others to their inbounds or using some   
   mailer to send to them as normal... i have 4 or 5 systems here all using their   
   own mailers for this but they all also have their own FTN addresses as   
   required...

   other than the above ""hints"" for multiple BBSes behind one IP, the setup   
   should be no different than any other distribution hub system... the specific   
   points being that each system has its own FTN address (full node or points)   
   and that there is a proper entry in the nodelist pointing to each domain   
   and/or IP address...
