How to host multiple SSL websites using multiple network cards
am 30.07.2007 11:58:04 von DPL
Hi,
I've been trying to get this working for a while but I'm getting nowhere fast!
I've got two websites using separate IP addresses on separate network cards,
both with their own SSL certificates. The problem is that windows only
allows a single default gateway on one external network card and as such I
can only get one site working at one time. (Each network card connects to a
different firewall with a different public IP address).
I think I'm missing something obvious, but no matter what I try (static
routes mapping each public ip to a particular route - 255.255.255.255 mask)
nothing is working.
I know that I can get 2 sites working using a wildcard certificate, but I
need to use separate certificates for each site.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many Thanks.

Are you using two network cards to get an addtional IP address? Or are you
using two network cards for WAN and LAN sides of the network?
You don't need more than one network card to host more than one IP address.
(I have 254 on one network card on my server, with 254 IP addresses assigned
to it. Then am running about 70 or 80 SSL sites for different
organizations.)
I don't know how to solve your routing problem, but you may not need to
solve it.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm using two network cards (each with an ip address from a different
subnet) on the WAN side to get to two different firewall/routers each with a
unique public ip address.
Basically I want to be able to run two SSL websites with two public ip
addresses going to two firewalls going to two internal ip addresses on the
IIS server.
I hope this helps!
BTW, how are you achieving this:
(I have 254 on one network card on my server, with 254 IP addresses assigned

I understand the settings to setup multiple ip's on the same network card,
but how does the outside get to each site through your firewall?
Thanks.
