Catchalls and host headers.
|
|
|
| In IIS 5.0 I could have >1 catchall host header however in IIS 6.0 when
I try and set one up it will not let me use a catchall host header. Is
there some way to change this?

| How can you have more than one catchall? I thought the meaning of
"catchall" was to catch all. So if you have more than one catchall, your
catchalls are not catching all.
No, you cannot use a wildcard in the host header, and this is true for
both IIS 5.0 and IIS 6.0.

| More that one domain ...
*.domain1.com
*.domain2.com
This does work in IIS 5.0 as I have it configured that way now.
| |
|
| This would be for two sites too, btw.
website 1:
*.domain1.com - 192.168.5.10
website 2:
*.domain2.com - 192.168.5.10

| Well, I don't think the GUI allow you to specify *.domain.com
I can catch all for a particular domain with 1 IP address, the trick is with
* DNS record point to that IP address.

| IIS 5.0 you can ... I have it setup that way now ... it's working just
fine...
The thing is I want to have more than one catchall domain on a single
IP address.

| Ok. I can set *.domain.com with IIS 5.
Now, I would like you to try this.
C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>adsutil.vbs set w3svc/1/serverbindings
":80:*.abc.com"
serverbindings : (LIST) ":80:*.abc.com"
this will set *.abc.com for all unassigned on port 80 for site 1
test it out and update us the result.

| And the wildcard actually works as well? Or can you just set it in the GUI?
I was (up until now) 100% sure that it was not working on IIS 5.0.
It can however be done with ISAPI filters, or other ways.

| haha.! that's why I ask the OP to test. he claimed he has IIS5 with wildcard
host header working fine.
IIS5.1 and IIS6 GUI doens't allow you to specify * as the header value. but
you can do it via adsutil or metabase tools

| I installed Windows 2000 (with SP4) and IIS 5.0 and tested this. I can now
say for sure that it does _not_ work with a wildcard. Yes, you can write
*.domain.com in the GUI, but if you send the host header www.domain.com
IIS will reply with
"No web site is configured at this address."
The only host header you can send is "*.domain.com", where * does _not_
indicate a wildcard, but the character *.
So the OP must be wrong. This did not work in IIS 5.0, and it does not
work in IIS 5.1 nor IIS 6.0, as i have already said.

| Cool. I was lazy to test.
I will double confirm and do the test later. Cheers.

| Sorry... I'm not making this up ... it is working ....
I have more than one domain using *.domainname.com as the catchall...
www.domainname.com works fine as does krisg.domainname.com
| |
|
| Sorry, I guess the final question is how can I setup IIS 6.0 to use 1
IP with >1 catchall domain?
| |
| Kristofer Gafvert [MVP] 2005-06-23, 7:51 am |
| And you are not having any custom built code that is doing this? For
example an ISAPI filter?
This is actually set up in the IIS Manager, and the ServerBindings
property is:
123.123.123.123:80:*.domain1.com
What i can find out, this is not a feature of IIS 5.0.

| No ISAPI filter ...
There is a custom ASP in each site the detect the requested domain and
displays the relavent data...
Yes, in the Internet Services Manager there are 5 sites all using the
same local IP NAT'd to the same public IP all with catchall hostnames.
All are working.
Is there a dump of a log or something I could paste to illustrate this?

| My apologies guys - it looks like the code was handling ALL redirection
- even though IIS did allow me to put in the *.domain.com
