public website on IIS web server behind firewall

[Greg]

I set up an IIS web server behind a Novell Border Manager
server (firewall).

IIS only has a private IP Address. The firewall performs
reverse proxy by advertising the public address of the
website and pointing to the private IP of IIS.

My problem is that searches for pages of the website
return the private IP address in the hyperlink string, so
the links won't work for the public.

Any help?

Thanks,
Greg

That is normal since the private IP is the actual address of the website. I
would suggest the you post to the IIS or Windows Server newsgroup since this
is really not an FP issue.

If you really want to have a public web site, then it should be on the
public side of your network.

Thanks Thomas

I just found the other groups and will post in the proper place. I had a
public IP on the IIS server and I had security issues to the point that I
thought moving it behind BM would be the best solution.

Thanks again,
Greg

The other groups can also help you with securing your sites without it being
behind a firewall.
