Re: HTTP & Domino Fighting

["Jeffrey Silberberg" <jsilberberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Evan,

            There are a number of way's around your problem depending on
your configurations, Firewall's, and IP comfort level. I simple fix is to
have the Domino Guy's use 2580, 2543 as the ports instead of  80 and 443,
but this means the URL's are going to look a little different
http://myipaddress.net:2580  for example which is okay is everything is a
HREF but not great if people are entering the URL manually.  Be sure you
update the services file as a reference point if you do this..

            Another way is to have multiple Virtual Private IP address's
(RFC-1918) on the AS/400 and then use the Firewall to NAT MAP the address
correctly, in this case you need to be careful of Routes and other things,
and be sure you add all the Virtual address assignments to the AS/400 host
file, and any internal DNS support you may be using..

            Last but not least there is a rumor of a Webshphere HTTP upgrade
that will allow you to serve Domino from WB/HTTP instead of using the Domino
engine, but I have not seen the PTF ship for this yet, check the newsgroup
for an update on this one.

        Good Luck ,
        JMS...
