OWA with NAT behind reverse Proxy - posting internal IP to external clients
Hi, Here is what my network looks like Gear From Telco -> Juniper SSG Firewall, with external IP address doing NAT -> 192.168.0.6 - Linux server. Port 80 is forwarded to this machine -> 192.168.0.7 - Small Business 2003 Server For this example, my domain is foo.com The linux machine is running apache, with mod_proxy. I have it setup so that when the linux machine receives requests on exchange.foo.com it proxies them to http://192.168.0.7 NOTE**** I am testing all of this from OUTSIDE the network. If I visit http://exchange.foo.com/ I get "Welcome to windows server 2003" with 4 options, "My companies internal website, network config wizard, remove web work place, information and asnswers". If I do either of the following 1: Type in http://exchange.foo.com/exchange 2: Click on "information and answers" I can see in the Firefox status bar, that it first hits the server, but then receives a header to go to 192.168.0.7, which of course is inaccessable from outside the network. My question is: how do I make IIS push the hostname in the header instead of the IP address? Thanks..

Are you talking about redirecting a reqeust that comes on http://exchange.foo.com to https://exchange.foo.com/exchange?
Configure IIS 7.0 for Redirects:
On the Client Access Server modify the iisstart.html page in C:\inetpub\wwwroot to the following:
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Redirection to https:</title>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="1; URL=https://webmail.url.com/exchange">
</head>
<body>
This page is attempting to redirect you to <a href=" https:// webmail.url.com /exchange/">https:// https:// webmail.url.com /exchange</a><br>
If you are not redirected within a few seconds, please click the link above to access Outlook Web Access.
</body></html>
Also, configure the IIS 7.0 error pages:
Error Code 403 Set to Respond with a 302 Redirect and specify the URL
Same principle could be applied to IIS 6.BP

Not quite. I'm taking about proxying all requests that come in on http://exchange.foo.com/exchange -> http://192.168.0.7/exchange. No redirects at all, just proxying. I did some further research and learned this issue could be service pack related, so I'll make sure those are up to date and go from there.

Hi Jeff,
After reviewing thread, I do think that it is an IIS related issue rather than the Exchange problem. In order to have most appropriate support engineer to help you regarding the issue, I suggest you post your question in the following forum:
