I would like to have to websites home.suwannee.org and tech.suwannee.org on the same server. I would like it to go to a directory if its home and a different one if its tech. I am using IIS. Any ideas?

1st - set each site in IIS Manager as separate websites (each pointing to its own directory) & assign different IP's to each. Make sure you have loaded the IP's in the TCP/IP Advanced Properties.

2nd - set the CName entry in your DNS Zone file to point to each to the corresponding IP.

Create each app as its own virtual directory and register the FQDN in your DNS.

You have to setup an host header for every website that you want to run on your computer. After you have set that up you have 2 choices . If the website is internal you could update your WINS to resolve to the name or if you're using the internet you have to update the DNS. You can run multiple web sites on one machine with the same IP address as long as you separate them with host headers.
