how to make an internal website accessible to the public

Asked by cchibonga in Cisco PIX Firewall, Apache Tomcat Application Server, Domain Name Service (DNS)

Tags: microsoft , cisco, 20003 OS and 2000 OS, ASA 5510, apache tomcat,, Firewall is ASA5510, DNS is windows 2000 server, webserver is windows 2003 server

i have website that is accessible to internal users. this site is running on a server with w2k3 OS, which has appache tomcat, the site has not been setup through IIS. internally the site is accessed by going to http://192.168.10.0:8080/test/login.html   where 192.168.10.0 is ip address of the server it is running on.

i have a dns server running w2k and ASA 5510 as my firewall. my basic understanding of situation is that i need to add a dns entry for my webserver. Correct me if i am wrong  i need to goto DNS ->right click forward lookup -> add a new zone and call it TESTmeNOW.com.  the add host record to new zone with the ip 192.168.10.0 . also add a www record to the new zone with ip 192.168.10.0  

On my firewall i need to permit outside access to this site. here are the commands i am not to sure about this either: where x.x.x.x is the assigned external ip on firewall that i picked.
static (external,internal) x.x.x.x  www 192.168.10.0 www netmask 255.255.255.255
static (external,internal) x.x.x.x  http 192.168.10.0 http netmask 255.255.255.255
static (external,internal) x.x.x.x  8080 192.168.10.0 8080 netmask 255.255.255.255


access-list external_internal extended permit tcp any host x.x.x.x eq 8080
access-list external_internal extended permit tcp any host x.x.x.x eq www
access-list external_internal extended permit tcp any host x.x.x.x eq http

how do i make this site public? Please if you can give the step by step instructions . including firewall commands coz this is where i am getting lost. as well as the fact that this site is not being published thru iis, we are using tomcat.? in addition on the dns entry do i need to call my new zone something different like 192.168.10.0:8080/test.login.html? how does it change things as far as DNS entry when i have :8080 in original url?
do i need a diffrent command on firewall to allow access?
