<div>
I didn't move the actual IIS servers that host the sites into the DMZ.<br />
<br />
What I did was add an ip address from the DMZ subnet to the cluster properties. &nbsp;Then assign that address from the DMZ subnet to a site. &nbsp;I made the appropriate changes to DNS, &nbsp;DNS resolves correctly.<br />
I can access the site in IIS Manager on the server.<br />
<br />
But from my workstation's browser I can't access the site.<br />
<br />
So I'm asking do I need to assign addresses from the DMZ subnet to the IIS servers before I add the sites to the DMZ?<br />
<br />
Thanks

We've a pair of load balanced MS Windows 2008 R2 servers setup as a cluster for redundancy running IIS7.5. &nbsp;And we host about 40 sites and domains. &nbsp;We're using MS Load Balancer app.<br />
<br />
I need to move these sites into a DMZ. &nbsp;So my first question is do I have to change the ip address on the web servers and assign one from the DMZ subnet? &nbsp;Or should I just be able to change the ip address of the sites and assign them an address from the DMZ.<br />
<br />
I tried doing that today and it didn't work. &nbsp;It worked fine on the server itself. &nbsp;But when I try to access the site by ip it can't be found.<br />
<br />
Let me &nbsp;know if you need more info.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Moving web servers into a DMZ?

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
