HiTiago,
 
I never use host headers to host multiple Web sites. First, it doens't
work with SSL. Second, its the most common reason for Web Publishing
problems. I know the reason for the first problem; I don't know the
reason for the second problem :-)
 
Use different IP addresses for each site. Are you hosting multiple sites
on the OWA box? If so, make sure that only OWA is using the default
virtual server.
 
HTH,
Tom

        Folks, help me out on this one:
         
        I have an ISA Server as my front-end. Standard bastion host, 2
NIC's, my internet domain is the same as my internal domain. The ISA
server has an A DNS record for my DC pointing to its internal IP
address.
         
        I have my company's web site published with ISA's web
publishing. Works perfectly.
         
        But... 2 weeks ago I tried publishing my OWA that sits in my
internal network, installed on my DC. If I call OWA from the outside
world, I can get inside, but it starts loading all images and controls
from my DC's internal IP on the remote client. Guess it won't work
unless I'm on a VPN =)
         
        Okay, what's the difference between my Web site and OWA. My
company's website is on my DC's IIS using the www.company.com
<http://www.company.com/>  host header name. OWA is on the default web
site, which answers for any IP or any other host that doesn't have a
site assigned to it. The only difference is that in one rule I'm
redirecting the host header name and in another rule I'm not.
         
        Question: when I make the web publishing rule, do I need to
enter a valid address reachable via the Internet? Guess not, because my
company's web site is published the same way. Do I need to modify my
default web site and put a host header name on it? I don't wanna change
this site because I also have my Internal MSN Messenger service running
on it. Or this is an OWA issue? I'm using the OWA publishing wizard, so
I don't think it's a problem with those /exchweb or any other folders.
         
        Any suggestion welcome =)
