Hi Bill,

Maintenance of your scenario is always difficult, but very doable
without an ISAPI dll. 

If you handle the DNS yourself you could do this:
1. http://someuser1.myweb.com, http://someuser2.myweb.com, etc. 
2. ISA filter rule to pass in original host headers on web publishing
rule
3. WEB site setup to redirect to given users page.

Others will say, hey that's a lot of work, yes it could be but, when a
user doesn't need the site
Just delete the DNS entry and access is stopped. Your not really
creating a web site with all new content
Your just creating the web site to do the redirecting for you to the
given page.  I just setup
A couple like this and it works pretty well.  Another thing is that you
don't actually have another
Layer on top of things doing redirection.

Thank you,
Joseph

Subject: [isalist] Publishing ~*/* with ISA


http://www.ISAserver.org

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
