Rob, for an MVP, you gave a terrible answer.

Scott, the correct answer is " sort of ", and it will require some special
config.

First, DNS does not do ports. So, all requests will hit the first server.
period. No way around that, since you want "both servers" to reply to the
same fully qualified name.

You need to create a dummy site on the first server, that when hit on port
999 redirects to the IP of the second server.You cannot use the fully
qualified name, as it will basically tell the client to redirect to itself.
This will hose the URL as it will appear (
http://10.10.10.10:999/hello.htm ), or whatever. Do a search on how to use
"host headers" on the MS Support site.

what are you trying to do? Have 2 sites on one IIS server?

Your idea of 2 IIS servers to be used in this fashion is not a good one, but
it can sort of be done.
