This is on a Win2K3 server. Would it be possible to do the following. Someone might slam me for this, but this is just a thought. Lets say I have website portal and there are different areas. The entire portal is one web application in IIS and that application has 1 IP configured.
Now, the DNS A record points to a IP address which resolves to portal1.com. Now I want to access other parts of the website like shared.portal1.com. I can assign multiple IPs to the same web application on IIS and have the dns point to the IP which has been assigned to the same web application.
Now my question is, if for the same portal (say, portal1.com), I wanted to access the unauthenticated public portal as public.portal1.com and the private authenticated part as private.portal1.com. How can this be made possible? Authenticated and unauthenticated presents different portals. Should this be done programatically for the web app itself?
Please advice.
Thanks.
