Sure. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're asking for... just bind
your email and DNS server to one or two of the ds0 IPs. Don't listen for
those services on the Provider2 IP. Then bind your other services to the
Provider2 IP.

If you're directing this all to an RFC1918 internal network (i.e., the
server(s) do not have public IPs), you're probably already using NAT,
and can make use of static NAT and the -redirect_port feature.
