Assigning public IPs to VMs

[etrex]

Hey!

I'm thinking of renting a dedicated server with win7pro today. I plan on installing VMware player and adding two virtual machines with win 7 on the dedicated server. I will buy a total of 3 public IP adresses aswell.

Let's say I get these 3 public IP addresses from the provider:

66.77.88.99

66.77.88.100

66.77.88.101

Im wondering if it will work to assign 1 PUBLIC IP address to each server like this:

Main Dedicated Server: 66.77.88.99

Virtual server 1: 66.77.88.100

Virtual server 2: 66.77.88.101

And make these servers accessable from the internet. I'll host one gameserver on each server which ppl have to be able to join with individual IPs.

is this as easy as it sounds? Or is there any problems that might occur which I dont know about.

Assigning IP Addresses to a Virtual Machine is no different then a Physical Machine and in the case of Public IP Addresses assigned to a Virtual Machine then you need to set the Virtual Machine's Network Adapter to Bridged in its Settings.

That said, before doing anything I'd make sure whoever is providing you the "dedicated server" will allow you to do what you want and will you also be able to do the type of gaming in the Virtual Machine.
