the need for public IP addresses Lou 6/22/2007 6:26:01 PM I have hit stupid mode. I have have three seperate pc's on one domain. Each server has a different role. Server 1 = websites frontpage server 2 = sharepoint server 3 = commerce server server 4 = exchange2003 server 5= dns each server is serving iis6 websites....ie, website or sharepoint or Outlookweb access etc. Here is my stupid question. Can they all share one gateway? and therefore one public IP address with different internal private ip addresses? Im stuck. Jan

You can have one server setup as a Default redirect server. On the redirect server, set up web sites on port 80, using host headers that redirect to the same web site name, on a different port. Then on the router forward that port to the IP of the server with the actual web site. There is almost no limit on the number of websites on a single IP and port if every website has a host header. Example, on the redirect server create a website for exchange.mydomain.com on port 80, then on that web sites Home directory tab, select redirection to a URL, and enter http://exchange.mydomain.com:81/exchange . Then on the router, forward incoming connections on port 81 to the Exchange server IP, and set the Exchange website to listen on port 81. -- Best regards, Kevin D.
