[WEB4LIB] How do I make two home pages available at the same IP address

[Jim Swift]

John:
If you are running IIS 4.0 or better, you can easily add a virtual site
using a different port number. There is no need for multiple web server
packages, IIS can handle it. As to the specifics, I don't have an IIS 4
server here, so I cannot give you details on exactly how to do it, just that
it is possible and fairly easy. If you have specific questions on how to set
it up, please email me off the list and I would be happy to help.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] How do I make two home pages available at the same IP
address


Hi,

I already have a Microsoft IIS web server for our website. On the Pcs
reserved for the Library Catalogue, I intend to specify its IP address as
the proxy server and have it serve a home page explaining why this Pc may
not be used for browsing the web generally. In the box 'Do not use proxy
server for addresses beginning with', I will specify the web address of our
library catalogue. Attempts to access sites other than the library catalogue
will be met by a homepage explaining why this is not possible. Attempts to
access the library catalogue will be unhindered. I think I can do this
without having recourse to a proxy server. A web server seems to be
sufficient.

The only problem is I need to be able to make two home pages available at
the same IP address. My plan is to use different port numbers.

What is the best way of doing this? Do I need to run two different web
server softwares on the same machine?

Thanks in advance.
