Multiple Web Sites On A Single Domino Server

On a Win2k server I can assign a second IP address to the NIC. I can then go into IIS and create two web sites and assign each site to one of the predefined IP addresses. I can then setup DNS entries that resolve to the two addresses.

What I can end up with is site1.domain.com resolving to an address and site2.domain.com resolving to another address, and in both cases, the browser requests are directed to the same physical hardware, but different IIS sites hosted by that hardware.

Is is possible to do something similar to this on a Domino web server?? I know if I have Domino running on Win2k, I can assign multiple addresses to the NIC, but can I configure Domino to present a different NSF file based on the incoming IP address; like I can with IIS??

Jeffrey,I think that you are getting some some concepts confused both on the Win2K side and on the Domino side.

Firstly, if you need to be using multi web sites (and/or multi IP addresses) you shorely would be using a firewall. If not why not?

If you are using a firewall then the issue is irrelevant because you have an external IP and an internal IP.

If you are not using a firewall how do you assign a second IP to a NIC?

Hi Jeffrey

Have a look at this article:

http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/today.nsf/8a6d147cf55a7fd385256658007aacf1/8f68a440f2182b1e88256a9a005d40da?OpenDocument

From what I can gather different IP addresses may be a problem ( not sure ), but you can certainly host site1 and site2 and present different DBs.

I did it on a win2000 server

assign second (third, …) IP-adress to the same NIC

create a website-document for each website. In such a document you can link the new IP-adress to a Notes-db

I had to convert the old R5-web-configuration into new site-documents system. It’s explained well in the help files. You’ll have to make a document for each service (each web-site, each SMTP-service, POP3-service, tec…)

setup DNS and routers to resolve the domains to the right NIC-ip-adress

Yes you can. Open the server document, click Create Web and choose Virtual Server. Enter the IP address on the Basics tab and the database on the Mapping tab. Works fine for us.

Sorry for the redundant submission. The original submission just hung for several minutes and I ended up clicking out of it, but apparently it saved my submission.

Can’t see a way to delete the redundant one!!
