simple forwarding

Web Programming236
I have two servers behind my firewall running IIS 5. On my intranet, I can

move the users between the two servers using simple URL redirects, and

having the names defined in my local DNS. But when connecting from the

outside this doesn't work. The primary server with my "home" page is

defined with an external ip and users can connect from the outside. I don't

have a spare ip address for the second server so I want to "forward" the

user directly from server to server using asp logic without having the

browser re-evaluate the url. What I want to do looks similar to what MS

calls "request forwarding", but I don't have clustering or load balancing.

Does this make any sense at all?



Thanks,



Ken

what you could do is create one (or as many as you need) virtual

directories pointing to your other server.



have you tried it?
