Is thier a way to host multiple domain web sites from IIS
with only one public IP address. I host my own DNS and I
think you can do it through DNS, but I don't know how to.
Thanks for your help
Dave
 
Sure there are two ways (only one of them is fully practical)
Ports
Host-header names

Use the latter. Create the new site and instead of assigning it
a different IP, choose "advanced" (or whatever that button
next to the address says) and fix it to the DNS name of the
second site, third, etc.

On the DNS server you register that name to the SAME IP.

You can have many names for the same IP address (just
like you can be called Dave, David, Davie, daddy, son,
bubba, etc.
 
As Herb stated, host headers is the way to go. Simply open the properties of the web site, click the Advanced button on the Web Site tab. Add a unique host
header for this site. The host header will be the DNS name that you want requests to go to for this site. You may also want to define a default site for queries
that do not include a host header.

Thank you,
