I have mulitple websites on the IIS box today. Now I bought a new IIS box and want some of the websites to run from it. Setup today: 1x Zyxel p-335 router 1x Webserver running all sites 1x Win 2003 Server w/ AD/DNS Setup tomorrow: 1x Zyxel p-335 router 1x Webserver running 2 sites 1x Webserver running other sites 1x Win 2003 Server w/ AD/DNS I have one (public) IP address. In my router I forwarded all 8080 trafic to webserver #1. Now I have a webserver #2 and told my DNS server this. It works on my LAN but when I try it from WAN side I get a "BAD REQUEST". 8080 trafic is heading for webserver #1 not #2. How do I configure my router/DNS server to handle this? TYIA

You need to forward a differnet port to the new webserver. Or use a different public IP w/ no 8080 port mapping, if you've got one. Or you could make webserver #1 proxy for #2, but that load will still be on #1 Or you could buy some kind of content switch that'll forward/nat based on layer7 data. They usually aren't cheap. A different port will be the easiest.

But that would leave my users to type in a :8181 each time they want to access the site no? And sites on that server would never be listed on say google. Thing is it works fine on LAN side. My DNS server is forwarding traffic to webserver #1 or #2 just fine. Problem is only from WAN side. So there's gotta be a way to route 8080 from the router accordingly to my DNS (Forward Lookup Zones).
