Combine websites from two IIS servers

[dalchri]

Hello,

We have two IIS servers. Server A is serving up content for our public website. Server B serves ArcGIS content and has a rather extensive ArcGIS server installation on it. At the current time, the public website is exposed as

http://www.domain.com

and the ArcGIS content is exposed as arcgis.domain.com.

What I would like to know is if it is possible to combine the two websites so that

http://www.domain.com

remains the content served from server A and

http://www.domain.com/arcgis

becomes the content served from server B.

Can this be done with IIS?

I am a little unsure about exactly what you want to do.What if you did the following:

On server A, in the

http://www.domain.com

website, create a Virtual Directory called arcgis. When creating the Virtual Directory, it will ask for a path. Set the path to use a shared folder on Server B: \\serverB\arcgisContent .

That's close to what I'm after. The only problem is that the processing of the webpages occurs on server A instead of server B. Our ArcGIS server is a pretty hefty creature.

Maybe what I am after is more of a routing thing than an IIS thing.

Requests for

http://www.domain.com/*

should hit server A
Requests for

http://www.domain.com/arcgis/*

should hit server B

I am starting to think that NLB or clustering might be the thing I am after but NLB appears to be a generic technology that is not website aware.
