The Network Administrator

Windows server 2008 IIS7 has differnet proxy options, however IIS 6 does not have anything built in. So i found Managed Fusion URL Rewriter, which  is a powerful URL manipulation engine based on the Apache mod_rewrite extension. Here is a link to the Managed Fusion Documentation site http://www.managedfusion.com/products/url-rewriter/documentation.aspx

I found the easiest way to get started was to do the following steps.

1. Download the core files from http://urlrewriter.codeplex.com/releases/36792/download/95504

2. Extract the downloaded files to a directory such as C:\websites\Proxy

3. Create a new IIS site, which will act as your reverse proxy.

4. Under home directory of the new site, select configuration, insert a new wildcard app, browse to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll, and uncheck the box to verify the file exists.

5. Browse to C:\websites\proxy or the name of the directory you created in step 2.

6. Open the ManagedFusion.Rewriter.txt file and delete everything in the file.

7. Insert the these two lines,

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://website or ip address/$1 [NC,P]
