    IIS7 as a Reverse Proxy

    Reply Contact

    Hi all [disclaimer: i'm very sorry for my bad bad bad english]

    I'm quite new on this side of IT. I was told to configure a Reverse Proxy to publish many apps on the web using only one address and redirect incoming requests to the specific private server. Looking around on the web i found out that IIS7 + ARR should be an easy way to get it.

    I've tried yesterday for a few hours to set-up the proxy, using this forum and this article as a guide, but I can't figure out the way to configure the proxy.

    Could someone of you explain me in a simple way how to proceed step by step?

    Many Thanks in advance

     ARR doesn't make a great reverse proxy.  Take a look at:

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

    For a very simple reverse proxy, all you have to do is:

    1. Select the server node on inetmgr.

    2. Double click on Application Request Routing icon.

    3. Select/check "Enable proxy".

    4. Select/check "Use URL Rewrite to inspect incoming requests.

    5. Enter the server of where you want to route the request to in "Reverse proxy" - ie. (myserver.contoso.com).

     

    In above example, all requests that are received by ARR will be routed to myserver.contoso.com.

    Of course, if you want different urls to go to different servers - you will have to go into the url-rewriter UI to setup multiple rewrite rules.
