IIS web site redirection problem?

One way is setting up a URL rewriting module with a Proxy function in the root server (the one at mycorp.com). The one I know is a commercial product from Helicon Tech, ISAPI Rewrite. Check the documentation at isapirewrite.com/docs/#RewriteProxy They basically implemented all the features from the Apache Rewriting mod using the same syntax.

You would set rules like: RewriteProxy ^purchase/beta/(.*)$ 192.168.0.12:8080/$1.

The purpose why I want to have such kind of redirection is I need to hide the internal machine name. – George2 Jul 14 '09 at 7:34 1 Yes, IIS supports redirection so the user ends up in another url. Proxying is transparent to the user, the root server acts as a proxy so you can potentially redirect the user to a server that is inaccessible to him otherwise.

Iis. Net/extensions/ApplicationRequestRouting – Ariel Popovsky Jul 14 '09 at 12:51 1 For IIS 6 I guess your only option is using an ISAPI addin.

IIS7 URL Rewriting module does not currently support reverse proxy functionality so you'd better use ISAPI-Rewrite 3 or Helicon Ape mod-proxy module. The config for ISAPI_Rewrite will be similar to what Ariel provided: RewriteBase / RewriteProxy ^purchase/beta/(.*)$ 192.168.0.12:8080/$1 And the config for Ape (Ape is designed specifically for IIS7) is: ProxyRequests Off Order deny,allow Allow from all ProxyPass /purchase/beta/(.*) 192.168.0.12:8080/$1.

Thanks TonyCool, I am considering using non-IIS built-in feature like ISAPI_Rewrite module you suggested. At the same time, I am also trying IIS built-in feature, and currently I find another issue, the destination URL in IE browser becomes the internal machine name (e.g. Labvm1), any ideas to change it to display external web site (mycorp.com) name? The purpose why I want to have such kind of redirection is I need to hide the internal machine name.

IIRF v2.0 supports a reverse proxy feature. With this feature you can can map a set of servers into a single URI namespace, hiding the internal machine names of the mapped resources. IIRF is free, and works with IIS6 and 7.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
