Hello,

I am quite new to IIS and I could use some assistance. I am running IIS
on Windows 2003 Server (Enterprise).

Here is what I would like to accomplish:

1. A single public IP address and point to different web servers.
2. Encryption / security (I know point one does not support SSL)
3. I would like ot host the web pages on different computers

Here are my thoughts as security is a concern:

I would place the IIS server in the DMZ.
I would like each company that I am hosting to have it's own web page
(e.g. www.abc.com).

When a company enters its web page (www.abc.com) a web page will come
up with a log in screen (my idea is for it to be similar to the way
banks validate customers).

The login credientials will be authenticated by verifying users from a
Windows 2003 Active Directory Domain Controller. Once authenticated, it
will take the user to a program that is entirely web based.

I have given this some thought and I think the best way is to have the
IIS / Web server in the DMZ and some sort of Active Server Page as the
main screen when connecting (www.abc.com). The user will login in and
be redirected to a secure area (private netowrk) where the Domain
Controller sits along with the Web application.

Can this be done? Can it be secure? What about encryption or HTTPS at
this point? By the way, preference would be to not use VPN's.

Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
