Multiple hostnames on a single MOSS site

I have been asked if it is possible to have a sub-site of a MOSS site running a different hostname from the parent.

Say I had the following site hierachy:

  • Home
  • News
    • Article 1
  • Sub Site
    • Pages
      • Some sub page
      • Some other sub page

Would it be possible to have the site running of www.my-moss-site.com but 'Sub Site' running off www.my-moss-sites-sub-site.com?

I know you can have multiple sites created through central admin which have different hostnames but I'm wondering if the above could also be achieved

Solution

  • No, this is only possible at the level of the Web Application. However, it might be possible if you put an ISA server (proxy server) in front of it. Now, I am no expert in the ISA server product from Microsoft - but a proxy server is the only possible solution as far as I can see. It can for instance also be employed to SSL enable SharePoint Web applications wihtout having to configure this in SharePoint.
