RE: FN-FORUM: IIS Forward Request to Another Server

date posted 8th February 2008 12:19

Thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions, I drafted an e-mail to
the client which basically took parts of several peoples' responses telling
him that it can't be done without some additional bits and bobs.

I have suggested this to the client and he seems to have calmed down :)

The actual problem is that the client has Microsoft CRM on one server and
Exchange on another server and has enabled OWA (Outlook Web Access), both
are obviously available internally through their relevant hosts i.e.
http://outlook and http://crm, however the client wants both of these
available externally from http://outlook.domain.com and
http://crm.domain.com on port 80. Like I have already mentioned the client
doesn't want another port opened as he thinks it looks ugly!
