| Hello,
I have a high-level overview of what is happening in our internet servers, but am unable to understand exactly what needs to happen on a more technical level. This was all setup a long time ago and is no longer fully supported. I am looking for assistance in creating a more technical workflow for my scenario. I will explain the best I can the details that I know from a high-level, if I need to provide further information please let me know.
I have a web server that is behind a firewall and is inacessible to the world. All the web pages get deployed here. There is also an IIS server using ISAPI_Rewrite from Helicon to redirect web traffic to the web server. What exactly is happening here?
Now as new sites are deployed on the web server we also get a domain, usually from go daddy, and redirect it to our ISAPI_Rewrite server. How exactly does a domain name get redirected to our server? Additionally, how does this relate to how the web pages from the internal server being displayed to the world?
In the future we may want to use existing domain's that have websites on them, how do we setup this existing domain so that it can also work for our new sites? For example if we deploy a website on our server, how could we use the webservertalk domain to also point to our server without hendering the webservertalk site itself?
There are also scenarios where bulk email needs to be sent. We have a seperate server for this which is hosted at Godaddy, the software we use for bulk email is Group Mail. In our first situation we used one domain for the emails, and another one for the website we were promoting. Is it possible to use the same domain for both? This may be a similar situation to the question regaring 1 domain pointing to 2 web servers.
I think that about explains the situation, here is a small recap:
We have 3 servers: Web Server behind firewall with no Internet access. Rewrite Server using Helicon/ISAPI_Rewrite. And a Email Server for sending Bulk Email. In some situations we will use a new domain for the site, in others we may want to use an existing organizations website such as webservertalk. We would like to be able to use the same domain for sending email as the website we are promoting. |
