Hi, I have implemented some time ago, something like this, but using apache. Apache has a proxy module, that makes apache work as a proxy for a hole site, or just some directories (this module does much more...). I mean, you can have an exposed webserver (apache), and when someone issue an GET /somedir/ apache will download http://othersite.../somedir/ and show it to you. The httpd.conf will have something like this on your virtualhost directive:
ProxyPass /somedir/ http://othersite/somedir/ So, you can have an apache webserver running on the internet, and mapping some directories to your internal IIS or wherever webserver you have. Hope you can understand something!
