IIS Redirection

Hi There,

At the moment I have IIS facing the web but what I would like to do is
have it then deal with my webmail system. I'm using MDaemon for
webmail on port 3000 but can't seem to figure out how to do it. Is
there a way for me to setup another virtual directory i.e.
http://servername/webmail and to then have that virtual directory be
redirected internally to http://mailserver/webmail:3000 so that it can
be accessed from the web?

I've tried playing around but can't seem to see a way for IIS to
redirect all traffic to that port and to then deal with all the
returning traffic.

Hopefully this makes sense.

IIS is not a reverse-proxy server.

If can redirect users to an alternate website, but it can't make requests to
another website, and then proxy the response back to the original user.
Microsoft makes a product that does that (and many other things besides)
called ISA Server. Alternatively, if you just need the reverse proxy
features, there are numerous cheaper and/or open source alternatives

Cheers
Ken
