I am currently running an SBS server behind a single static ip. the server is running mail and an https page for remote mail etc etc. i would like to publish a development linux web server also using https behind the same static ip. how should i configure my firwall in order that the different traffic arrives at the right server? tia dan

You cant. Firewalls can't normally do that kind of re-direction. This kind if multiple server behind one IP is done in the server software. I imagine that as you are using SBS you are also using IIS which will allow the same server to serve multiple web sites. Apache HTTP server will do this using it's virtual server functionality which works very well. Stuart

If you want to run multiple web servers behind a single IP, you could use an LVS redirector. http://www.vergenet.net/linux/ldire...

I read that ldirectory stuff lightly...sounds like load balancing or VRRP(HSRP) but for Linux servers, which might not fit what you're trying to do. Why not just change the default port of https on the Linux sever. Then all you have to do is set your firewall to permit the new port you assigned to the Linux server https. You'll just have to notify the users of the alternate port or post the link with the port already assigned in it but other than that it's a done deal. D
