If that's what is happening then there is nothing you can control.

It only answers to a single IP (thats how I set up DNS) but it will not send data out of the same IP it uses a shared pool of host IP's

Is there a single IP assigned to your site? If so, then all traffic should be on that IP.

The outbound traffic will travel like this.

browser > webserver > through firewall > access local database and get data > back out through firewall > to users browser. (is that what you were referring to?)

The firewall is on the demarc of the local network taht allows traffic in + out

I want shared host to use one IP so I can lock down this traffic through my firewall, otherwise I have to specify "any" which I dont like, I'm currently looking to be able to specify a range of their shared hosts which I'm still uncomfortable with but i feel a little more comfortable with that, I would still much rather have a single IP but I think I would need to upgrade my service which I don't believe is an option...

AaronR:
I currently have a shared webhost that answers to a single IP albeit I would like all outbound traffic to leave from a single IP someone mentioned this may be possible via IIS manager, can anyone help point me towards a guide or enlighten me if this is possible?

What type of outbound traffic do you mean? What IP?

AaronR:
The purpose behind doing this is so that I can open up a rule on my firewall that ONLY allows one IP instead of "any"

What firewall? On your local PC or the shared host?

They said that I am unable to do that, is there any other way that you can think of?

Hi,

You can force IIS to bind to a single IP address. This is how :

Setting metabase property DisableSocketPooling has no effect

Hi, I am new here and this may be in the wrong area, but it involves IIS 6! and ASP.net.

I currently have a shared webhost that answers to a single IP albeit I would like all outbound traffic to leave from a single IP someone mentioned this may be possible via IIS manager, can anyone help point me towards a guide or enlighten me if this is possible?

The purpose behind doing this is so that I can open up a rule on my firewall that ONLY allows one IP instead of "any"

also if this doesnt seem possible please let me know so I stop searching!

thanks in advance for your time and effort!
