how do I expose an application in IIS7 to the internet?

[cyr0n_k0r]

we have IIS7, with a default website.
There are 5 "applications" underneath the default website.
The vendor said 1 of them needs to be exposed to the internet. We do not want to expose the other applications to the internet.

How would we go about distinguishing the applications from each other? Is it by ports? If so, how do I see what port each application is using?

Couple ideas...

1 - Abstract the external web application from the internal web applications by defining a new website, and adding the applications as appropriate.

2 - You can add the "IP and Domain Restrictions" role to IIS, then use the new option in the "Features View" to restrict access to those sites.

3 - If you have a firewall between the server and the rest of the network, setup a rule to restrict traffic to the four internal web applications -- one way could be to only allow outbound traffic from the four private websites to internal user IP range(s).
