IIS 6.0 is installed on a member server named EliteCertify -SR66. All EliteCertify.com Web sites are to be hosted on EliteCertify -SR66. You receive instructions to create a new Web site named Research. You add the necessary host records on EliteCertify -SR08. These records map the research.

Answer: A

Explanation: If you running IIS 6.0 on a Windows Server 2003 computer, you can host more than one Web site on that computer. Each of the Web sites is identified by the following parameters: 1. IP address 2. TCP port 3. Host header name. At least one of these parameters has to be unique for each Web site, i.e., each specific Web site must be assigned a unique combination of the three parameters. If any two Web sites have the same combination of all three parameters, one Web site will be stopped. This is what is shown in the accompanying exhibit. You need to modify at least one of the three parameters for the new Web site. The one way to change the existing configuration is to set a unique host name header to the new Web site, providing the host name header is mapped to the proper IP address in DNS. Incorrect answers: B. Enabling Anonymous access will result in anyone being to access the Web sites. It will not enable you to host several web sites. C. Restarting IIS would probably result in the new Web site starting but not in the Default Web site starting. D. Custom headers have nothing to do with hosting multiple Web sites.
