How to do i configure IIS for multiple portals/Domains.

I and working on 2 different portals that have different  domain names (ei.  www.mydomain.com www.mydomain2.com).

I also need access them locally from the server and my workstation.

I bought the "Professional DotNetNuke 4 book which said (on Page 86) in the section on setting up parent portals that you need to configure IIS "Which is outside the scope of this book".

Thanks

Hi,

I also would like to know what the best way is to set up the IIS for several different domains pointing to the same portal. Here are the steps i've taken so far....have I missed something? I have:

• windows server 2003 standard (2.8 GHz, 2.0 GB of RAM) 
• asp.net 1.1.4322 ánd asp.net 2.0.50727 installed
• MS SQL server

1. setting up a directory with full control on user NETWORK SERVICE
2. create an IIS web (ASP 2, cause its DNN 4.3.5)
3. creating its own Application Pool with the following properties:
1. Recycling:
1. recycle worker pocesses after 1740 minutes (should maybe be once every night?)
2. Performance:
1. shutdown worker processes after being idle for 2000 minutes
2. limit the kernel request queue to 4000 requests
3. webgarden: maximum nuber of worker processes: 10 (I dont think I have enables this in the web.config...what ate the possibilities of this?)
3. Health: No changes
4. Identity: Predefined Network Service
4. installing DNN 4.3.5
5. adding the domains to the host portal (Host >> Portals)
6. creating an IIS website for each domain in order to have seperate statistics
7. adding the host header values in each IIS web
8. each IIS web points to the same application pool
9. I use HTTP compression
10. I use pageblaster
11. I reduced the log viewer in logging only
1. SCHEDULER_EXCEPTION
2. GENERAL_EXCEPTION
3. MODULE_LOAD_EXCEPTION
4. PAGE_LOAD_EXCEPTION
5. SCHEDULER_EVENT_FAILURE
12. in the schedular I have only:
1. DotNetNuke.Services.Scheduling.PurgeScheduleHistory
2. DotNetNuke.Services.Log.EventLog.PurgeLogBuffer
3. DotNetNuke.Services.Search.SearchEngineScheduler

Now I run 5, and still increasing, subportals but I find the performance not optimal. Any extra feedback/input is much appreciated!!
