I'm not up to date on what services are going to RIT, but in most
cases you can have a bunch of VMs on a link-local network, and expose
different ports of different ones via front-end VM(s) with either
iptables or more sophisticated load-balancing software (that may also
allow different VMs to be used for the same port based on CNAMEs).
