asked on

why a website can use two different webserver to host their website

Hi, all experts here.

I used builtwith.com to analyse a website's technology. Let's say "kornferry.com", it show two web servers are being used now. Apache 2.2 and IIS 6. How could they use two different web server to host website?

Also the framwork includes J2EE and PHP and ASP.NET, as far as I know, these frameworks are different technology for different platforms, why can they use a mix?

thanks.

How to do it with IIS: http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2008/03/12/iis-7-how-to-send-a-custom-server-http-header.aspx

How to do it with Apache:

Use mod_headers
Header set Server "New Server Name Goes Here"

I can report my server to give you anything I want.

Of course, the software might be just following permanent redirects, one to an IIS and one to an Apache based server.
Yes, 'rhel' = RedHat Enterprise Linux.
