Hello, To begin with all of these users are hosted on the same IIS-5 server. I would like to host them on an IIS-6 server which hosts most of my web content, but so far all of my requests sent to the software vendor regarding an updated version of the ISAPI filter that manages this have gone unanswered. http://myserver/~username on the IIS server returns the web content from a sub-directory in the users home directory called Web. If this filter would run on my IIS6 box I would not need to be asking this question. What I would like is http://myserver/~username to request content from http://homserver/~username where username is a valid user name. I don't expect ISA to actually figure anything out in terms of which server to go to. It would be nice if a real regular expression parser could be built into ISA for the purposes of doing sophisticated url translations.

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?

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?
