Hi Bob,

From my understanding to this issue, you are going to host several web
sites in one IIS with Multiple DNS name at one static IP.

I'd suggest you can use the host header feature of IIS to implement this.
The kb article 190008 will help you a lot regardin the configuration of the
host header in IIS.
190008 HOW TO: Use Host Header Names to Host Multiple Sites from One IP
Address
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=190008

You can also specify each web site with one static ip at different port.
This way, multiple web sites will use the same static IP at the same time.

Furthermore, if one web site in your box uses SSL to build one secure
connection, it will fail with host header. This is because the http header
in the request is encrypted using SSL, IIS can't obtain enough information
to decide which site should accept this SSL request, then the connection
failed. The kb article 187504 will introduce more information for you.
187504 HTTP 1.1 Host Headers Are Not Supported When You Use SSL
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=187504

In this scenario, you will need to assign one static IP to the SSL web
site.

The suggestion from doug will also provide some assistance for you.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions. I am
standing by to be of assistance.

Hi Bob,

To add more information, using SSL, you can assign one static IP to the SSL
web site or assign differenct port to each SSL web sites. SSL web sites can
use one IP with differenct port.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions. I am
standing by to be of assistance.

Very Helpful info.... One last question. Is there a way to
add pathing to the end of a url based on dns name?

IE intranet.company.com goes to wwwroot/index.htm but
newintranet.company.com goes to wwwroot/new/index.htm

Or will the host headers do all this?

Unfortunatley Host headers will not do this....
You would need to create another website with a host header
newintranet.company.com
Then map it to wwwroot/new/index.htm

So in IIS MMC it should look something like this

DefaultWebsite
-->mapped to wwwroot
intranet.company.com
-->mapped to wwwroot/index.htm
newintranet.company.com
-->wwwroot/new/index.htm

I hope this makes sense let me know if there is anything else we can do ...
