On our Win2k web server port 80 is the normal website, while port 81 is the webmail. We want intraoffice users to be able to access the sites using:

to see the website (port 80)
and
to see the webmail (port 81)

Does anyone know how to set this up using the DNS service, or any other means? The is setup and is simple, the problem is getting mail.sac-yolomvcd.com to go to the server on port 81.

Thanks!

DNS does not provide port information.

Why are you setting mail.sac-yolomvcd.com to port 81? The two sites can share the same IP address and port. In the IIS manager, set the "Host Header Name" property for each website: set it to "mail.sac-yolomvcd.com" for the mail site, and " for the web site. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions: TANSTAAFL!

I cannot set them to the same port because Microsoft IIS does not manage our webmail. Our independant mail server software manages the webmail site. If I attempt to put it on port 80, then it conflicts with IIS's site on port 80.

Thanks for your assistance!

Create a new site in IIS with the same IP address and use the host header like sleipnir214 suggested. The new site on your IIS box will have one page (index.htm) which will consist of the lines below. This will redirect them to the right place/port.

<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;REFRESH&quot; CONTENT=&quot;0;URL=http://mail.sac-yolomvcd.com:81&quot;>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
