How to run Multiple web sites on one IP

Windows Server 2003 with Exchange 2003 and Active Directory. I'm trying to
run Mobile services to allow users on the domain to access their email using
Smartphones that auto-synch with Exchange. Problem is, I can't get OWA
functionality locally, and therefore the phones can't access it, and I
believe it's because I already have a public website available from my
domain and only one web site seems to be allowed to be running at once.

I think I can solve the problem using host headers to run multiple web sites
using my single static IP but I'm not sure and before I go down this path I
wanted to get some validation here. Does this sound right?

In order to create host headers, I assume this is something I need to do
with my Domain DNS management in order to make these publicly available,
yes?

Thanks in advance for any insights or suggestions.
