I am novice networker.
I am planning to have 2 servers hosting 2 different domains (eg us.example.com, uk.example.com) and 1 ip. Can I configure cisco router (2621) to route to the correct server based on domain?
 
Basically, no!

Beside using virtual hosts on one server to solve my problem,
can the cisco router 2621 be used with 2 ips and then route to different server based on domain.

I am trying to build a firewall/router between the 2 servers.
 
Sorry I meant to say building a firewall/router in front of my servers.
 
If you have multiple IP's and want to run two different servers then you can configure static NAT's on your router or firewall to NAT two global addresses to two local addresses.

ChrisAC is right. If you have a two domains pointing to the same IP address then you're going to need a full-blown load balancer, like the Cisco CSS or F5 Big IP, to route traffic based on application-layer information.
 
So if I understanding correctly
1) the router support having 2 public ip
2) use static NAT to map domain to internal servers behind firewall.

OR another option
1) single ip with load balancer to route traffic

Truly appreciate your input.
