..and how is ISA to know which server hosts which user?
You have either:
1 - to hire someone to write an ISAPI filter that knows how to look up the 
username-to-server mapping in a separate database (text file, whatever)
2 - create a web publishing rule for each user that uses the username in the 
path criteria.

Given that you could potentially have MANY users, the publishing rule method 
gets a little hairy, but not impossible.  The worst part of it (after the 
initial setup, of course), is user maintenance.  You don't want ISA handling 
requests for deleted users, now do you?

Any ISAPI programmers out there want to make some $$ off William?

Hello,

I need to publish a webserver that serves up personal webpages. The URLs for
these pages are http://www/~username. I would like a publishing rule for
this. Something like /~*/* In other words any time a request comes in with a
~username/* it will be requeted from the server that serves the personal web
pages. How may I go about this. 

I have tried using /~*/* as a path mapping, and I have the External Path set
to Same as published folder. The home pages are serving off the internal
server correctly. That is, if I use the internal URL the pages serve fine. Is
it possible to do this with ISA 2004? 

Thanks

Bill
