multiple website re direct

Hi,

The question I know has been asked many a time with no real answers, but I
thought id give it a shout.

What I want to do I using 1 domain name connect to my internal iis server
that is running multiple web sites.

Web Server is windows 2k3 running iis6

Ive got the default website (192.168.0.12)to work no problems, and users
internally & externally can connect via http://production

however this is as far as I get.
if I want users to connect to a second website running on the same web
server called accounts INTERNAL users just use http://acounts as I have
created a new host called accounts that points to my single
webserver(192.168.0.12)

Question 1. How can I get my external users to connect to accounts? My
firewall is a Stonegate firewall v 3.5

What I was thinking was to set up a redirect that would connect the external
users to production website and re direct to accounts but this does not
work.

So anyone with any ideas please..
thanks

In general, all you need to do is make sure that the domain name you use
externally can be looked up to the external IP.

Unless you have control of the external users (i.e. can modify their hosts
file or select which DNS server to use), http://production will not work
externally. So whatever you have done to make http://production work
externally, do the same for http://accounts and that will also work.

From what i can see, the problem is resolving the domain name.
