Network Rounting Question

[Igor Mathez]

Hi,
Here is my setup before I ask any questions.
I have a DSL with static IP which goes into my Linksys
setup as a Gateway. I have a DC (192.168.x.x) with (DNS,
RRAS, WINS, and DHCP) and a BCD (192.168.x.y) with the
same setup. I also have a web server (192.168.x.z) with
multiple websites.

My current configuration is that my LinkSys forwards the
HostHeader to my WebServer (196.168.x.z). Everything is
working great. Had no problem with it, until now.

Two of the website I am hosting now need SSL (which IIS)
cannot handle on the same IP. So I am adding a new NIC
card onto IIS. However, my LinkSys router does not permit
routing port 80 and 443 to multiple internal IP's.

Now is my dilemna - I would like to route all request to
my Internal DNS server and then have this DNS server route
it to the internal IP of each web site?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Igor

You can have multiple IP addresses on a single NIC, you don't need the
second NIC.

However, my LinkSys router does not permit
routing port 80 and 443 to multiple internal IP's.

That has you screwed right there. You have a single external IP, and
to run multiple sites on a single IP requires separate ports or host
headers. SSL only works on port 443 and won't work with host headers.

Now is my dilemna - I would like to route all request to
my Internal DNS server and then have this DNS server route
it to the internal IP of each web site?

Ummm... Nope. Not what DNS does, won't help you and not even an
option.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need a second public IP address. Call your DSL provider and get
one.

I have five public IP's, but I am not sure on how to bring
this specific IP onto my WebServer via my LinkSys Router -
Maybe I need to by another router(gateway).
?

Thanks a lot.

Or maybe you need to contact Linksys. For what it's worth, IP Cop
will run on an old PC with two network cards and give you the
functionality you're looking for. Freebie too.
