1 external ip-adres 2 internal webservers

We have SBS2003. The default website is working fine and accessible over the
internet. We have a machine with a build in webserver which is accessible
over the network by ip-adres or name. When i want to connect to the machine
from an external location the machine is not accessible because the browser
is looking for the internal ip-adres or name which is unknown on the
internet. How can i correct this? Many thanks in advance!

The solution is to not use internal IP addresses from outside your
network. So why is the browser using an internal IP address? The answer to
this question will make you understand what you need to change.

You need what is known as a reverse proxy to direct traffic to the proper
internal server. ISA can do this:

The problem is i don't wat to use the internal IP address. I just want to
access the machine with the build-in webserver (different ip-address than SBS
server) over the internet. How do i configure IIS and ISA to make this
possible?
