  Reverse Proxy Reply Contact Is it possible in IIS to do some sort of pseudo reverse proxy? For example, http://www.site.com is visible to the internet, but http://hidden.site.com is not. However the hidden.site.com is on the same network as the www.site.com (ie. lets say its an intranet site). Is there any way of exposing that http://hidden.site.com as say http://www.site.com/hidden/ ? I am not looking for a redirection, I want www.site.com/hidden to be showing exactly the same as hidden.site.com. I can't make it a virtual directory, there is no method of file sharing I can do this with by means of UNC paths. Thanks. -Alan

  Re: Reverse Proxy Reply Contact The way isapi-rewrite proxy points to content on a separate server, or that is how we implemented it.  The content isn't accessed by a UNC path.  Our particular implementation uses a vdir however, I guess this could be a root level website.  Beyond that, I'm not sure what else to suggest.  I'm not familar enough with the two products mentioned.
