I think you are looking for a reverse-proxy type solution. This
functionality is not provided by IIS per se. You could code something
yourself using ASP.Net or similar, or buy a product that can do it for you.

: I have a case where I would like to forward requests sent to a specific
virtual directory to another web server. How can I do this?
:
: Specifically we have one server running IIS outside the firewall which
will receive requests. We would like this machine to send the requests to
another server inside the firewall. This 2nd server will have a virtual
directory in IIS that will be a web application. We want the first server to
have a virtual directory of its own, and when it receives a request, it
forwards them to the 2nd server inside the firewall.
