    IIS Website Redirection Question

    Reply Contact

    Hi,

    I am not sure that is it possible or not using the IIS 6 on the Windows Server 2003.

    The problem is that we have a Live Server with a static IP address and used as a web server to host our asp.net applications. We have a development server which does not have a static IP Address and its IP is dynamic. This development server also host a site which is related to the development etc.

    Now what we want is to get this development site to be available to the live server and say if a request comes to the liveserver it redirects that request to the development server.

    The problem is that the Live server can not connect to the DevServer and the DevServer can connect to the live server. what do you think is it possible that the in some way or other the devserver connects to the liveserver and create a tunnel and the live server the using that tunnel forwards the request to the development server.

    You're looking for a reverse proxy, which IIS doesn't do.  You need another product, such as ISA, on that server to handle these requests.

    Look for Wrox's new book Professional IIS 7 in your local bookstore, or order now at Amazon.com

    ISAPI_Rewrite http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/ can bring reverse proxy functions to IIS. But the problem with your requirements is that connection cannot be initiated by dev server. And as I understand you don't know dev server's IP or host name? If you find some way to link to the dev server, ISAPI_Rewrite configuration to reverse proxy it into the live server namespace would look like the following: RewriteBase / RewriteRule devserverdir(.*) http://192.168.1.1$1 [NC,P] where 192.168.1.1 IP (or host) of dev server.
