ISA's Web Publishing Behaving Very Weird

[lck092580]

Hello.. wonder if anyone could explain why my ISA is behaving like this.

I have 5 web publishing rules. What I know is that when a client makes a request for a webpage.. ISA would look @ the 6 rules (one is default) from top to bottom and see if anyone matches the IP. If it doesn't then the default rule which would discard the request is performed. Here's my setup (these are fake ips that I made up..).

1st rule --> 10.0.0.25 (

http://www.domain1.com)

2nd rule --> 10.0.0.27 (

http://www.domain2.com)

3rd rule --> 10.0.0.29 (

http://www.domain3.com)

4th rule --> 10.0.0.31 (

http://www.domain4.com)

5th rule --> 10.0.0.32 (

http://www.domain5.com)

6th rule --> discard request

For some reason if i type in the actual domain name I would be brought to the correct address. However.. if i happen to type in the ip I would always be forwarded to the 1st rule. For example:

If i type in 10.0.0.27 in my web browser I would be brought to the 10.0.0.25 webpage.. the same goes for all of the other ips. I get brought to the correct webpage if, say, i type in

http://www.domain2.com.

Could anyone tell me why this is happening?

Thanks.
