Title: Binding to an IP address
Post by: kevin plummer on May 24, 2015, 06:53:50 PM

Hi All,

I want to run several web apps on port 443 from the 1 virtual server but don't want to use the multi-host facility. I have created an extra 2 virtual NIC's on the server and set firewall rules using sub domains and separate ext IP's to port forward to the new int ip address's. This works well from within the internal network but externally only the app listening on the original int ip address works.

Has anyone been able to set this scenario up?

Cheers,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Can you run the second app on any port other than 443 and see if it works? Can you add the additional ips to the same NIC and try it? I remember doing this on the same NIC card with the additional ips and it worked. Now, I use Multihost.

Hi Bijan, thanks for your suggestions.

> yes that works fine but it is a hassle or not possible for my corporate users behind strict firewalls. I'm using/testing Thread pooling which is not possible under the Multi-Host program.

Kevin,

If it runs internally and on different ports from outside, could be a port forwarding issue. Are you doing your port forwarding on your router?

> yes.

From my research adding multiple nics to the same default gateway seems to be a bad thing. Even when I add the settings to the extra Nic's it drops the gateway. So it seems to be a problem from the firewall/router to the extra Nics.
