Static Routes ?

[grayboots]

Hi,
I have an old compaq 6500 which hosts my local intranet. It has samba running great and this has our office web server applications on it too. This is known as 'server' and has a fixed ip address reserved in our router. If you type 'http://server you land on the index page of the web application.
I have a second network card attached to my router with a fixed ip. I would like it to host an inbound route that lands on a different page so that people from ouside the local network can not land on my index page, they are routed somewhere else.
At the moment i am doing this through just the one card and routing them in my software but i think this would be better.
Does anyone out there know how this is done. Its been working great for about 5 years and i dont want to break it !!!

Thanks

I almost understand you, but not quite.

So your setup is:

Internet------Router---------Local Network (containing "server").

What you want is a configuration where anyone on the local network can get to server, but anyone from outside (the "internet") gets redirected to another IP when they try and access the server, and you'd like to configure the router to make this happen. Right?

Hi , thanks for the reply,
I would like people from outside (internet) to be directed to another page in my webserver , like a customer portal .

I'd do this on the web server. If the web server is Apache httpd, you can do this using mod_rewrite. Do a rewrite based on the user's IP address

I had a different idea !

I thought i could get them all to log in. If my first card takes all LAN traffic to my server index page can my second card take everyone outside of the LAN to say ".... /portal/users/index.php ". The router is already sending all inbound traffic to the second card.
