IIS redirect

Hi,

I'm new to IIS on SBS 2003 and would like to do the following:

I have a domain for example called www.abcdef.com, I have changed the DNS on
our ISP to point to an external IP address on our SBS 2003 box.

I can browse to the box using the www.abcdef.com address, however, I would
like to access our web mail only for this address.

Questions:

How do redirect incomming requests on www.abcdef.com to
www.abcdef.com/exchange

Thanks

Mike

One of the simplest methods would be a META-REFRESH tag on the default
page of the web site. That would allow you to easily reuse the WWW
host for a web site easily in the future. Alternatively, point the
home directory of your site to the Exchange folder instead of a folder
above it.

Personally, I'd use a second public IP for mail, and add a
mail.abcdef.com host in my DNS for this purpose. You could use a
redirect for the home directory until you wanted a web server, then
change the redirect to point to the home directory for a web site
later while retaining the mail.abcdef.com address.

In the MMC properties of the site there is a redirect option.
