I built a web server where we will house our company website. I also have a sharepoint server on it. I am wondering if I can use different public IP’s for them? Is it possible to NAT them through the router to the same server? If so what is the best practice? If not what is the best solution. This will be in a production environment.

You might be able to use PAT (Port Address Translation) and to translate the different ports to Sharepoint and the web server. You could do Sharepoint as port 443 and the web server as 80 for example.

Ok I wasnt sure if I could do that. Thanks I will explore it. I was thinking port forwarding but wrote NAT instead. Thanks!

I think you could also use NAT.

As you are talking Multiple IP address you could even setup your NIC internally with multiple IP adresses and bind them to the different websites. When you then setup NAT on your router you can port external IP 1 to 1 site and External IP 2 to a second site.

This is a virtual machine would it still work in that environment?

Router part would for sure.

Have only done this on physical boxes. But I would assume if you can add an extra IP address to your NIC it would work.

Maybe test in a sandbox first.

Its worth a shot thanks for the info!

This will work.
Why not just use the 1 IP address and host headers on your websites? That way you only need 1 NAT, and multiple sites could be accessed by the same IP address, but with different host header information.

i will look into that as well the simpler the better. thanks!
