Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server
2004 uses Web publishing rules to handle issues that are associated with
publishing Web content to the Internet without compromising internal network
security. Web publishing rules determine the following:
- How ISA Server intercepts incoming requests for HTTP
objects on an internal Web server.
- How ISA Server responds on behalf of the Web
server.
Requests are forwarded downstream to an internal Web server
that is behind the ISA Server computer. If it is possible, the request is
serviced from the ISA Server cache.
Web publishing rules map incoming
requests to the appropriate Web servers that are behind the ISA Server
computer.
Three common ISA Server Web publishing scenarios are:
- Publishing a Web server that is located in your internal
network or in your perimeter network.
- Publishing specific folders to different public
names.
- Publishing two Web servers with different domain
names.
To view detailed solutions for each of these scenarios, see the
"Publishing Web Servers Using ISA Server 2004" document. To download this
