Inbound web page routing

Greetings:

I have a single static IP address. I just added a new PC running Apache to my internal LAN so now I have both an IIS server located on x.x.x.2 and the new Linux webserver on x.x.x.3

Web traffic (port 80) coming to my domain (lets call it foo.com) is routed to the IIS server on x.x.x.2

What I need to do is route traffic coming to a specific subdomain like new.foo.com to the apache server on x.x.x.3 and let all other port 80 traffic continue on it's merry way to the IIS sever on x.x.x.2

Any chance my Actiontec router can do that?

ISP provided static.

I know I can use port level forwarding to route inbound traffic but in this case I want port 80 traffic to go to one of two diffrent computers based on the URL being requested.

 

I'm not sure how you'd do that. Since you only have one IP address, and you can only forward port 80 to a single computer behind your router/firewall, that seems like the impossible dream.

 

The only way I've seen this done is by using an external service that translates one or more ports from port 80 to a unique port. Also, I don't see anything here that suggests he has multiple public IP addresses, which is the root of the issue if that's correct.

 

I must have flunked reading comprehension, I don't see anything about multiple public IP addresses there, just a statement about the IP address being static. Please point out what I'm missing?

 

Drat. I was hoping I was just missing that option in the feature list.

OK then, it's back to plan-B. I'll just have to point the URL at another outside server and have it forward the request back to foo.com:81.

Thanks All.

 

That would be the only way I see this working.
