Probably the wisest course..

Check in the logs to see...

Set up apache and IIS with the same docroot. Apache is listening to the =
internet address and IIS is listening only on an internal IP (eg =
192.168.1.1). So only apache can request from IIS.

Now in apache do something like:

DocumentRoot /home/site/html
<FilesMatch *.asp>
  ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.1/
</FilesMatch>

So if you get a request http://internet-ip/foo/bar.html, it will be =
served by apache from /home/site/html/foo/bar.html.

If you get a request for http://internet-ip/foo/wibble.asp, it will be =
proxied internally and apache will request =
http://192.168.1.1/foo/wibble.asp (ie, from IIS) and pass the response =
back to the client.

Depending on how compilcated your setup is, you might find it worth =
moving it all to mod_rewrite (in proxy mode), eg.

RewriteRule (.*\.asp) http://192.168.1.1/$1 [P]

which does the same thing in one line.

Check out the docs for these directives for details and post back if =
there's anything that's not clear.

Rgds,
Owen Boyle
