Is this a multihomed server, 2 Nics?
If so is the local nic IP addresss not assigned in iis root web? I ask this because U
mention
external interface to router on SBS this would lead one to believe more than one exists.
If
that is the case why not assign both address to iis even though you have to bind another
in
advanced properties of nic as a work around to ISA being at same port 80 then disable
socket pooling on iis5.0 allowing it to share port 80 at another local address.
I have done the same to allow Netshow unicast service to bind on port 80
and iis5.0 port 80 without error. Add the entry into DNS for the new address
and publish web via name entered into dns like ww1.myweb.com. Don't believe it
will interfere with ISA as it uses the first local bound address and iis5.0
will use the other new local bound address. IIs assumes it owns port 80 and
is unwilling to give it up without disabling socket pooling as I have learned.
To disable socket pooling for an IIS 5.0 Web site
  1.. At the command prompt, type cd SystemDrive\inetpub\adminscripts.
  2.. At the SystemDrive\Inetpub\AdminScripts command prompt, type
  cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/disablesocketpooling true.

  The command prompt will reply:

disablesocketpooling : (BOOLEAN) TRUE
