Please help if we have any IIS experts out there...

I have a network with a pc running webpages and a public IP address. I want to redirect the default page on that pc to another pc and its default web page. I can do this fine on an internal LAN and it works ok but not from a pc outside my LAN. Any ideas? The 'redirected' pc doesnt have a public IP address.

I've probably just confused everyone
 
You do have to have a DNS record and a public IP to host the second web server for outside clients. You could create a second site on the first web server and direct the home directory to a network share \\server\share. Then use a Host Header so that both sites can use the same public IP. You still would have to register the second domain name on an outside DNS server.
 
You need a router on the public IP rather than a server, which can the send traffic on port 80 to the internal IP of the machine running the website
