Re: (no subject)

Your bigger issue may be authentication. How will the .net application served up by IIS know who is logged on? If you authenticate the user in an Apache iSeries world (and maybe create a cookie with a session ID) how will the IIS server know who that is?

The NET.DATa stuff is on the 400 and the ASP stuff will be on an IIS server,
the main entry point is the NET .DATA stuff. what we want (if possible) is
a way for NET .DATA to do the "redirect" to an IIS server ASP page
"automagically" if a certain condition is met instead of going to the "next"
NET .DATA page...

Probably not clear but I am grudingly moving to .NET and still gotta figure
this stuff out

In your example you both the net.data and the .net pages were on the
campusweb.tui.edu server. Since an address can only be backed by a
single web server you're going to have to move that web server from the
System i to a windows box. So, the question now is, when the windows box
sees a request for xxx.mbr can you get it to (conditionally) redirect to
another site, say campusweb1.tui.edu.

There are a couple of ways to do this, two that spring to mind are
either a custom 404 handler (since the .mbr doesn't exist on the iis box
iis will send it to the 404 handler) that handles the request for .mbr
and optionally checks some data and then redirects either to
campusweb1/xxx.mbr or to campusweb/xxx.aspx.

The other way would be to map the .mbr extension into asp.net and then
have a httphandler that handles all .mbr requests and then checks the
code and rewrites/redirects as needed.
