Even easier is to host the site as "friend.mydomain.com"
1. create the site in IIS and assign the host header as the name of the site
"friend.mydomain.com". This allows multiple sites to coexist on a single
IP/port combination
2. create a destination set that includes that name "friend.mydomain.com"
with the path of "/*"
3. create a web publishing rule that allows the destination set of
"friend.mydomain.com" and make sure to "pass the original host header"
4. make the appropriate DNS entries
I do this for other friends and it works beautifully. It also has the side
benefit of not requiring any redirection on the part of ISA or the web
server.

Subject: [isalist] Hosting multiple websites using prefixes (host headers)?
http://www.ISAserver.org
Hi all
I have Microsoft Smallbusiness Server 2000 which integrates ISA server and
IIS on the same PC. My default website is working ok, however I would like
to host multiple web sites for my friends and use their names as the
prefix on the FQDN (eg www.mydomain.com/friend becomes
friend.mydomain.com).
I have set up an 'A' record with my Internet domain registrar which passes
any URL request to my domain regardless of the prefix (eg
anyprefix.mydomain.com). So I'm confident that friend.mydomain.com will
make it to my sever IP address. The question is:
1. How do I host multiple websites in smallbusiness server and
2. How can I use prefixes to differentiate them.
I have ordered Tom & Deb Shinders ISA book but hasn't arrived yet.
Any assistance would be greatly appretiated.
Thanks
Paul
