Two web servers. One IP adress?

Hello,

I am trying to understand how I can get two webservers running in our domain
using only one of our IP addresses. Can this be done?

Here's the story:

We have a new website that would greatly benefit from iis6.0 on w2003.
However we are using exchange 2000 with Outlook Web Access.
I understand that OWA2000 won't(?) install on W2003, so we are trying to
find a way to add a W2000 webserver for OWA2000. Then upgrade the old
webserver to W2003.

How can both webservers be accessed from the internet?

Thanks in advance for any direction you can give,
Aaron

As I understand, you mean that there will be two web servers, they will have
two different private IPs, and for internet they should be accessible from
one public IP,
is this correct?
For this you need first a Router / Firwall ( it could be MS RRAS too) to
direct from public IP to a private IP on which there will be IIS, and the
IIS by reading hearder (URL entered by user), will direct to the correct web
server.
OR instead of Rotuer/Firewall, the IIS , which will do above shoul be on the
server, which has that public IP.

In case you want access to the two different web servers on differnt ports
(e.g. port 80 for one web server, port 8080 for the other), then instead of
IIS hearder re-direction, this can be done by
the router /firewall alone, by setting request form public IP for port 80 to
one web server, and for port 8080 to another web server.
You should better post this, question in IIS news group (but give details,
like how is the public IP obtained, goes to which machine first, if you both
to be
accessed on same port or different, is there a router (or RRAS set up on a
windows server. etc.) There they can guide you how to set up IIS to do
forwarding by headers.

HOW TO setup Host Header Names to Host Multiple Sites on One IP

Configure Host Header Names in IIS 5.0
To configure host header names in IIS, start the Internet Service Manager
(Iis.msc)>the Properties of the web, select IP address that the site will
use and TCP Port that should be used (usually 80). Click Advanced>Multiple
identities for this Web Site list, select the identity that you want to use.
Click Edit, and then add the desired host header name like web1.domain.com.
Register the host header name with the appropriate name resolution system.
If the accessed web is on an intranet register it with the intranet's name
resolution system, such as WINS and internal DNS. If the access web is on
the Internet, register the host header name with DNS, which is administered
by InterNic.

Hi Sharad,

Thank you for your reply.

you said:
"IIS by reading hearder (URL entered by user), will direct to the correct
web server"

This is exactly what I am trying to do. However I can't get IIS to redirect
to a different server using a header.

I created a new website>properties. Then entered the IP address of the other
server. Is this correct?

No. Enter the IP address it will answer on, which has to be on the
server the site is on. Then in the Home Directory tab, choose
Redirect to URL and use the other system's IP address, or Redirct to
Share and just have the content on the other server.

Neither really accomplishes what you want though, which is to create a
reverse proxy. IIS doesn't do it, though other products do.
