    You're in the wrong newsgroup. The issue here is not your IIS server, nor
    is it your solution.

    What you're talking about is a proxy server. The closes things that
    Microsoft currently supports are RRAS and IAS. Look up both of those, see
    which suits you, and then you can follow up in the appropriate group.

    As a general note, you should be aware that either of these services, if
    placed on your web server without proper testing and configuration, will
    likely cause you some problems with web site availability, Internet routing,
    or both. You're essentially talking about using your web server as your
    gateway, which is kind of creepy.
