Re[2]: DNS entry to different port

["Pete Shew" <ukha_d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have found Orenosp http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA027031/orenosp/index_en.html
which is a secure reverse proxy to be simple and effective.

One configuration I use is to add a second IP address to my server and bind
IIS to that. Orenosp is bound to the primary and published address. It
forwards most stuff to IIS on the secondary address, all on port 80, but
specific hostnames are passed to different addresses and/or ports as
required. There is problem with IIS in that it defaults to "socket
pooling" and listens on all IP addresses regardless of which one(s) it
is configured to do. This is apparently a performance thing. To disable
socket pooling look at http://tinyurl.com/56nw9 or Google for
Socket Pooling IIS.

If you have nothing already on port 80 then you don't need the shenannigans
above, just Orenosp on port 80.
