Ok, I know this is probably going to be the weirdest question asked in here, but it is something we are looking to do.
Background:
Server #1
MSWin2000 w/SP4
IIS
MSAccess
ASP
Server #2
Linux
Apache
MySQL
PHP
What we are attempting to do is make our (2) internal webservers visable to the WWW as (1) whole website. So that the users viewing the website don't know they are jumping between (2) servers.
We are in the process of setting up a "MapServer" (it's like MapQuest or GoogleMap). This "MapServer" application will run on Linux because there are certain add-on features to this that we will use down that road that will require this Server#2 setup.
But unfortunately our primary website is running on Server#1.
It would be a perfect world if someone had the time to rebuild everything so that it would all work on the Linux server, but at this current time it's not an option. We just don't have the time/money/resources to do this.
Now we also have MSExchange2003, and I've been able to set it up so that when a user types https://www.mysite.com/exchange they pop over to the web function on our internal mail server. (but this of course is working on Port443).
I'm hoping I can do something similar so that a user types http://www.mysite.com/mapserver and they get shunted over to Server#2. So we are trying to make it work so that the WWW will see both webservers as a single website all pushing through our Firewall Port80.
Any thoughts or suggestions? (other then the obvious 'I'm Crazy')
Can this be done? |
