Is there any way that ISA server can be configured for multiple websites with diferent domains? An example of this would be a webhosting company. I am currently running the enterprise version at work and am testing it for webhosting. I do have an array of firewalls set up in this test and it appears to be functioning normally. I have a domain at work lets say aaa.com and that is my primary domain, also active directory is running on aaa.com. The firewall also points to the aaa.com domain so that it can log onto the network. I am trying to host www.bbb.com but it is not working. Internally I have my internal DNS servers pointing to the correct computer and those DNS servers have entries for aaa.com and bbb.com. I can get to www.bbb.com from inside so I am pretty sure the DNS servers are ok. My external DNS servers have www.bbb.com pointing to one of the external IP's going into the firewall. When I try to pull the page up externally I can see www.aaa.com (my primary site), but not www.bbb.com. Do I have to put the DNS entries for bbb.com and other hosts on the ISA Server? Each site will have a different IP Address as well. Is there anywhere I can find information or get someone to help me configure the firewall to do webhosting. I have tried other articles on ISAServer.org but nothing seems to help when dealing with web hosting and multiple domains and not sub domains.

Hi Nicholas,

I host many Web sites on a single server servicing multiple domains. I do this on internal network servers, not on the ISA Server itself for security and stability reasons, but there is not problem doing it on the ISA Server itself.

Check out my Web publishing articles (and the book!) over at www.isaserver.org/shinder

HTH,
Tom

Hi Tom,

I host many websites on ISA server itself and they are working very fine following your web publishing article.

But I have trouble with my statistics program LiveStats from deepmetrix.com . It does not give any results because of no client Ip addresses existing in web logs. When I got in touch with them, they suggested using server publishing rules instead of web publishing but I guess in my conf of ISA and web server being on the same machine this would cause trouble.

In this case, what do you suggest?

Not that you probably want to switch log analyzers, but you might want to check out Funnel Web (http://www.quest.com/). It can read the ISA Server logs directly (one of the only pieces of software that I've found to truely support the ISA log file format the same as a web server log). Applying the appropriate filters can probably give you what you want in a web hosting environment. Note that you will also see all the traffic coming from inside your firewall in these logs. This needs to be filtered by Funnel Web.
