RE: [OT] IIS, domains, routers and host headers

Hi Paul

How about running it on a different port which is not accessible from
outside?

I think that only covers a small area ;)

I need some help with my home/office network setup or some pointers to
good resources where I can research the answers:

I currently have a W2K server running on my network using a 192.168.0.x
address. My ADSL router is setup to route one of my public IP addresses
and associated domain names through to the server (but only allows port
80 through). The website does not have anonymous access and file
security on all files is set to Administrator and one internal domain
user. AD is running. I have several HA and alarm pages and OWA setup on
this web server so want to keep it as secure as possible. I currently
only have one default web site setup on port 80. My internal domain is
set to home.local and the server and other servers on the network appear
as homeserver.home.local, cameraserver.home.local etc. I have a DNS
server running on this server too and all clients point to this before
my ISP DNS servers.

I'd also like to use this server as a testing server for developing web
pages and applications. I don't want this site to be accessible from the
Internet at all (or at the very least, protected). What's the best way
of doing this? Would host headers help??? (I don't know anything about
them).

My IIS knowledge is reasonably basic.

Ta,

Paul.
