RE: Weird problem (IBM HTTP Original)

>I don't understand how a single port can be "taken up by another domain
name".

Let me explain (even though my problem is resolved - see my other email).

Currently we have about 50 websites coming in through one ip address (I'll
call it .83).  Then our customers started demanding that our connections be
secure (SSL) so we started purchasing digital certificates.  We soon found
out that you can't have more than one digital certificate assigned to port
443 on the same IP address (at least under IBM Original HTTP server you
can't), so we started using up other ports for SSL purposes (8501, 8502,
8503, etc).  A couple months down the road some of our big customers changed
their networks and their users were only allowed to access secure sites that
used port 443.  That is what let to the moving of cso.cgintl.com from IP
address .83 to .89

To sum it up in a shorter sentence, we have a good handful of sites/domains
that all point to the same IP address (.83) but use a different port for SSL
services.

Whew.  Hope that made sense.

Aaron.

Your question is VERY confusing.  I don't understand how a
single port can be "taken up by another domain name".

Now, I do remember setting up the web pages you are talking
about, and I believe that each domain points to a single IP
which routes requests to your corporate firewall.  Then the
requests are routed inside to the AS/400 which has an
internal IP address.

I think the configs were set up using host names on the
configs.  Can't be sure, it's been a while.  But, still,
your question is making my head spin.  :)

Also, I seemed to be able to connect just fine.  So make
sure that your problem isn't because you have some local
DNS or host file causing problems.

You also may want to explain the setup... Internet domains,
IP addresses, firewall, iSeries, local IP addresses.
