website referrals

I have a little problem. I've got 3 domain controllers so all three have the
same IP address. One is hosting a website. From inside our building, users
may get any of those three servers and I need to have them get the one
hosting the website when they make a request.

I thought I could just set up IIS on the other two servers and then "refer"
requests back to the right server. That does work but the problem is that
sometimes the website request includes additional string information and I
can't figure out if it is possible to set up the referral to pass that info
along.

For example: corp.company.com/website1 and I refer that to
192.168.0.10/website1. That works fine.

The issue is requests can come in
corp.company.com/website1/login.asp?IDProject=2&IDFeedback=5162. My referal
right now then just sends them to 192.168.0.10/website1.

Is there anyway to have the referal append the other stuff that came in with
the original request?

THX!!

Redirect to http://192.168.0.10$V$Q
$V is the requested URL without the server name (eg. /website1/login.asp)
$Q is the querystring parms with the question mark if present (eg.
?IDProject=2&IDFeedback=5162)

for more infor, see IIS Admin Guide under Reference, Redirect Reference
