Answer

PublicSite.mydom.com PrivateSite.mydom.com/EmployeeInfo

Have DNS records created on the responsible DNS server for your domain for PublicSite and PrivateSite and point them both to the ISA server’s external interface.

In the destination sets Create one and give it a descriptive name like: For requests to PublicSite In the Destinations tab: / Computer name type in what the host header will contain. eg: PublicSite.mydom.com and no path for this one.

For the second one: Create a destination set with a friendly name like: For access to the Private info site. In the Destinations tab: / Computer name type in what the host header will contain. eg: PrivateSite.mydom.com and in the path type in /EmployeeInfo/*

Then create a web publishing rule for each which sends requests for these headers to the proper server. Name: Any friendly name like: For Public site Destination: Selected destination set Select the name : For requests to PublicSite in the drop down list. Action: Redirect the request to a hosted site: In the Destination site area type in the ComputerName or IP address of the internal Web server hosting the Public site. Applies to : Any request.

For the Private site: Name: Any friendly name like: For Private info site Destination: Selected destination set Select the name : For access to the Private info site. in the drop down list. Action: Redirect the request to a hosted site: In the Destination site area type in the ComputerName or IP address of the internal Web server hosting the Private site.
