U can assign many IP's to your nic. And each of them can then be assigned to a site in IIS. Any number of IP's can point at the same server.

(I've been running a Win 2000 Server for years, using IIS 5, but using a single IP with Host Headers...) Why can't multiple IP's point to the same server and let the server sort out which site is for which IP? IIS asks which IP I want to use for each site I have...I had always assumed that if I purchased more IP's I could assign different IP's to different sites for whatever reason I needed...SSL, etc. Clarification, please?

I said you cannot have the same IP on 2 servers. -----Original Message----- From: Adkins, Randy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 August 2006 21:24 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT: Finding Server IP The true server can have multiple IPs. It is based on the NIC cards installed and how they are configured. -----Original Message----- From: Snake [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 18, 2006 4:12 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT: Finding Server IP Where is the no part? -----Original Message----- From: Adkins, Randy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 August 2006 20:41 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT: Finding Server IP Well yes and no. a single server can have more than one NIC Card resulting in each having its Own IP Address. Example: Windows 2003 NIC 1: 123.45.67.12 NIC 2: 123.45.67.85 Thus the NIC Card that is being utilized by the Request will be used. -----Original Message----- From: Snake [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 18, 2006 3:31 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT: Finding Server IP Every IP on every server is unique. You cannot have the same IP on 2 servers, therefor ethe IP that your web site runs on is the server IP and is unique.
