I have an odd situation here and I’m hoping someone can help me.
I have (1) webserver that runs Windows\IIS\ASP\Access and currently this is the website that the WWW sees on a daily basis.
We are working on a new project to install a “MapServer”, but this is being done in Linux\Apache\PHP\mySQL.
What we are wanting to do is have our main website, but we want to be able to reference or pull up the ‘mapserver’ website (which is internal) and integrate it into our normal website. This way the WWW will be able to see the ‘mapserver’ as well and outside users would see no difference and not know that we are using (2) webservers.
Question is…. how can I do this? Our firewall will only allow one port 80 device.
Would I modify our DNS so that maybe if www.mysite.com/mapserver comes up the DNS knows that if ‘mapserver’ is called to point to internal ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx?
This is how I’ve worked it for our exchange webmail portion of our email server that is seperated from the webserver.
We haven’t begun this project yet that is why I’m asking this question first to make sure it can be done.
Thanks
