"Virtual hosting" with single IP and multiple domain names
|
|
|
| I'm sure something similar to this has been asked, but since this is a very
important issue to me, I'd like to be as thorough as possible.
Currently I am running virtual hosting with Apache. The machine has a
single IP address, but multiple sites running on it. so
www.domainnameone.com points to the same IP address as www.domainnametwo.com,
but appear to be seperate sites. Each virtual host also has an SSL
certificate associated with it on the apache web server.
I'm in need to running ASP.NET on some pages and it's obvious that IIS is
the best choice. However, does IIS support support something similar to
virtual hosting in apache?
Additional requirements:
1) IIS has to be running on a single IP. The pool of IP addresses allocated
are very limited and the web server wouldn't be able to obtain an additional
address.
2) Each site needs to have a seperate and unique SSL certificate.
Is something like this possible? Where can I find some good references and
information on how to configure this?
Thanks.

| Andy,
Thats no problem at all. You need to look into "Host Headers" under the IIS
documentation. This does exactly what you ask by identifying sites based not
on IP/Port but by a header that comes in with each request.
Its very easy to set up. Apache is probably doing exactly the same thing
behind the scenes

I don't think that SSL handles Host Headers, meaning that you can't have
multiple SSL Certs under the same IP with different host headers.

No problem. See:

Internet Information Services 6.0:

No can do. SSL requires separate IP's or separate ports.
