Sharepoint redirection

[srenshaw]

Hi,

My current setup: 2 servers, A and B, behind a firewall.

Sharepoint is installed on server B.

The firewall send port 80 and 443 requests to server A and port 8081 to server B.

I configured Sharepoint on B to use port 8081.

So, domain.com get sent to A and domain.com:8081 get sent to B.

So far so good. But it is not very elegant.

What I want to do is that when a user type domain.com/sharepoint he get to Sharepoint.

I created a virtual directory on A that forwards to B. I only got it to work by forwarding to the domain.com:8081 URL which is not what I want to do. When I selected a share on another computer it does not work. I assume it is because of the stsfltr ISAPI filter.

Can this be done? If so, how did you do it?

Could I use headers to do it? If so, I could you a quick explanation on how to do it.

If possible, I would prefer not to have to use ISA.

Thanks!

Yes. The best way to do this is to use headers.

1. Create A DNS Records for sharepoint.domain.com
2. On Server B, Open IIS and under web site tab, click advanced button and then add. Put port 80 and sharepoint.domain.com for the host header name
3. Change your firewall so it lets port 80 come through to server B

Hope this helps,
