Possible to assign a new IP address on every http request?

Is it possible for me to change or assign my server a new IP address every time it needs to make a http request with commands such as wget?

Thanks all

Update

The reason for this is exactly what the Tor project is trying to achieve. I do not want to leave a trace of what requests my server makes and I thought constantly changing my IP address could help me and my users use the internet without being followed around. :)

If you have a large pool of proxies you can use, then I suppose you could switch between them, but otherwise no, you generally can't just renew your IP address whenever you feel like it.

You might want to look into Tor, an anonymizing network which does something like what you're asking about.
