The web server does not have any built-in DMZ functionality. You could of
course implement this yourself by having your ISAPI extension on your fridge
make HTTP calls to your oven (using the Wininet API) but this is tricky.
I'm wondering if you could make your router be smarter for you? Could you
say that any port opened on port 79 on your internet gateway is forwarded to
the oven's port 80 web server, and that either the catchall device (or just
port 80) is your fridge? This would be a heck of a lot easier to implement
if possible.
Also if you're not PocketPCs to do this work (not sure how close your
example is to your reality), a better newsgroup is probably
microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder. There's people who probably have
more gateway experience there also.
