Yes, it's standard IIS behind so for instance:
if I open http://sbs.lc.lan or http://192.168.250.2 I get the default page
of the default website. In my case I have replaced the standard default page
here with a redirector to another site.
I do a _bad_ thing with my LoungeAN SBS, I run public websites on it.
http://supergumby.dyndns.org is hosted on her. The site is a seperate IIS
site using host headers.
Similarly, from inside the network you could browse the default site by
internal name or IP, you would also want a public name available on the
default site (ie. a name not associated with a host header), you could then
have another site associated with another host header name which you steer
people to to get your custom page.
The use of two public names is not totally necessary, IIS does some tricky
stuff with multiple websites. It is however highly desirable so that a) you
don't fool with the SBS default site, and b) you have a clear distinction of
sites in your head.
SO:
hq.domain.com and office.domain.com are two names (A records) which point to
your public IP. People who open http://office.domain.org get the default
site. People who browse http://hq.domain.com (which is what you tell people)
get another site using host header in IIS, this is your custom site with
links to http://office.domain.org/remote, http://office.domain.org/owa
etc...
of course, it should all be available _only_ by https. There's really no
reason to, and a good many reasons NOT to, open HTTP (port 80) to your
server publicly. There's a hiccup here in that each site must have it's own
SSL port, we don't want to mess with the default site so
https://office.domain.org will work fine but the link we want to give people
should be https://hq.domain.com:445 (or whatever SSL port we wish).
I do it only with the LoungeAN SBS. I patch on an almost daily basis, I have
ISA and closely monitor the logs, and if the system gets hacked I can throw
the whole thing away and rebuild it in a couple of hours. Most businesses
don't have such luxury.

Hi
Is it possible to have different default/home pages on a SBS2003 when
using RWW?
When I connect to http:\\192.168.#.# it would be fine to see the
standard web page.
However from the outside http:\machine.mydomain.com it would be good
to have a corporate front page with 2 links to take useres to the RWW
logon page and "my company's internal website" section.
Many thanks
Matt
