IIS Host Headers?? 1

[zypadman]

I currently have websiteA running on our web server and I would like to have websiteB running on the same web server. From what I understand you can use Host Headers to point to the correct web site even though they are using the same IP Address/Web Server? Can someone give me some pointers on how to make this work. I have created websiteB in IIS and used websiteB.com as the Host Header. When I browse to websiteB.com it takes me to websiteA. Any thoughts?

Thanks!!!

You need to create Host (A) records in DNS. Example, websiteA.com and websiteB.com. When a client requests either site, DNS will send the traffic to the IP address of the web-server.
Site: websiteA would have the host header (Same name as the A record in DNS) websiteA.com. Site "B" using the host header websiteB.com.
