You will need IIS4 to act as a reverse proxy to do this. IIS does not come
with this feature by-default. People have constructed such tools/products
in the past. Products like Microsoft ISA Server also do this (and more).
The redirection that IIS comes with is a 302 redirection, which requires
that the browser be able to access the server directly (which would be true
in Intranet but not over Internet).
Now, a Layer-7 proxy server of the sort you're asking about will likely make
your IIS4 a performance bottleneck since each request ties up both a thread
on IIS4 and on IIS6... so I suggest using ISA Server and its "Web
Publishing" feature to do the reverse proxying for you in a performant
manner.

I want to redirect internet traffic which hits our IIS4 server to an IIS6 / ASP.NET site which is located internally on our LAN. Basically, let the traffic pass through IIS4 and hit the IIS6 server. IIS4 can be seen from the internet and the IIS6 machine is only available across our LAN. Is this possible? If so, any pointers on how to do it? I have tried redirecting the traffic by changing the properties of the default web site on IIS4 to point to either a directory on the IIS6 machine (in which case the source code was displayed to the internet user as the asp.net pages were not compiled) or to a URL on the IIS6 machine (in which case the page could not be displayed / the server could not be contacted across the internet). In the latter case redirection works for the LAN users. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.
