Topic: Access to iis (ms) serveur in "dmz"

[Gwenael]

Hi,

Sorry for my poor english. I installed a SME server in a company to provide security(firewall), gateway, web server....

The server is connected to the internet by a cable connection (ip is static).
The server is in "server and gateway" of course.

I have behind the server, a development server (Win2k server with iis, ..)

==>I want to have the possibilities to show via a browser, a current project before the production. --> Acces on a web page on a private address (lan).

What can i do?

It is possible?

How can I install it?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Gwenaël

One option would be to install the port forwarding add-on and port forward into the IIS box. For example you could forward from 8080 on the gateway to 80 internally to the Microsoft server
.
The url would then be http://www.yourdomain.com:8080 from the Internet.

This is an extremely bad thing to do for security. You will be allowing public access to an internal server.

If possible put the development server on the outside of the SME server.

Bonne chance,

Justin.

If you want to get slick, you can set up Apache to proxy-pass a requested URL to your internal server, ie www.yourdomain.com goes to your e-smith server, and development.yourdomain.com goes to your internal server.  

I use this method in a production environment to keep my IIS away from the public.
