[MLB-WIRELESS] OT - but I need help

Thu Jul 14 15:40:30 EST 2005

You can download a trial of ISA Server

I have only used it with win2000. But it is quite good.

Thanks Brenton

  Hi Callan,

  The host header value doesn't seem to be able to be redirected to a linux box from the sbs 2003.

  Having said that I have just placed an order for the sbs2003 SP1 with ISA 2004.

  It means it will be at least another 10 days before I get it installed but will solve all my problems so thanks for your suggestions, I'm just stunned there isn't a workaround for this.

  If you are using IIS that comes with windows 2003 (sbs should be tbe same, I'm using enterprise server) you can forward your request to another server.

  One way to do this, is using port 81 for you linux server, and have it work externally on port 81.

  Then setup a new website on your iss box, and put in your new hostname into the "host header value"

  You might also want to put the domain without the "www" at the start, just to cover all bases,

  Once you have done this, under "Home directory" you can redirect your website on port 81, which will forward onto your linux server

  Just make sure port 81 is setup for forwarding from your router to the linux machine.

  Not 100% ideal, but will only take minutes to setup and should work without a problem.

  Yup,

  Matthew's got it in one here. mod_proxy will let you do this (I also use it to mix between linux/apache and windows/IIS servers on a single IP:port combo), but I'm not sure about IIS.

  The other option is a proxy server that supports reverse proxying (HTTP load balancing), such as squid - It's possible there's some other proxy software that's easy/windows friendly that can also do this.

  Cheers,

      Fenn.

    Hi all,

    I can see what Dean is trying to do here, but I don't believe IIS supports it. It appears you want to do a proxy to your internal apache server based on the host header. I know apache can do it using mod_proxy. I have been using it for years for a number of servers held internally in the LAN in a school, i.e. weather station server, library catalogues. Mainly because they are all Windows boxes, and we only have 2 linux boxes on the net with public IPs all doing web hosting / mail handling. Trust me its funny when netcraft comes back with Windows IIS 6.0 running on Linux 2.4 J

    I will ask some guys at work in regards to your issue Dean, but I wouldn't hold my breath to solve the issue.

    Maybe put the Linux box on the net with the external IP and run the SBS box internally and use apache's mod_proxy to forward www.cognation.net and www.collins.net.pr to the SBS box?

    Thanks

    Mathew

    No it is not a problem with port 80. I am successfully hosting my 2 sites www.cognation.net and www.collins.net.pr on the sbs 2003 server fine, I just need to know how to redirect www.aussienymeetup.net to my linux apache server.

    might have to forward port 81 to the Linux box?

    Optusnet blocks port 80 too

    Thanks Brenton

      It has it's own domain that is being redirected by www.no-ip.com to the sbs server hanging off my cable modem.

      But no it doesn't have it's own ip address.

      does the Linux server have a pubic ip?

      or just a private one?

      Thanks Brenton

        I know this is OT but I need help and I figure some of the gurus in here probably know their way around both linux AND windows.

        I have a new website application that wont run on windows, currently I host 
        my own company domain (and a smaller private web site selected by host 
        headers) on my sbs 2003 server, this new website will be hosted on a new 
        linux server.

        I have purchased a linux server and it is now connected to my lan (cable 
        modem - sbs server 2003 with two nics, 1 external & 1 internal - 16 port 
        gigabit switch) it is accessible now from within my lan by both internal ip 
        address and web domain name (enabled using dns pointer).

        I know how to set up a web site in the www root folder of sbs 2003, I also 
        know how to redirect it to the web folder of another windows machine but I 
        don't know how to redirect it to the web folder of a linux machine.

        Currently if you go to www.newwebsite.net the internet name servers points 
        it to the ip address of my sbs 2003 server via www.no-ip.com (which works 
        great for my main domain (and smaller private domain) etc that are running 
        on the server).

        But this newwebsite is running on a linux server on my lan with the internal ip 
        address of 192.168.16.15

        When I type in http://192.168.16.15 it works great,
        When I type in http://linuxserverip.company.local it works great as well

        And finally
        When I type in www.newwebsite.net it works fine for me because my dns knows 
        to point to http://linuxserverip.company.local However if you type that in 
        from outside my lan it fails.

        How do i redirect to a linux webserver on my domain using iis 6.0 and sbs 2003??

        Cheers,
        Dean
