Y'all...

I've inherited a WebSphere application that runs just fine internally with
WAS 5.02 on one W2K box and IIS 5 on another W2K box.  The powers-that-be
want to run this application in a production environment where the IIS
server would be off-site.  The url that clients would put in their browser
would be something like http://application.company.com/.  This, apparently,
would take them to the off-site IIS box which would then redirect to the
internal WAS server.  In between the IIS and WAS servers is a firewall with
NAT enabled.  The problem that I am encountering is that when I configure
the HTTP Transports, I put in the IP address for the firewall (which is
configured to redirect to the WAS box), save the configuration and then
generate the plug-in.  When I restart WAS, the server does not start, but
shows the following error (just a snippet with the host IP address X'd out):

Any help would be appreciated.
