Windows Home Server Host Headers
Recently my FreeNas file server has been giving me some problems. So I decided to try out that copy of Windows home server I had lying around. In my never ending consolidation of servers I also decided to move my other blog to WHS. As you can see b the link I am using a host header to forward my one static IP to the right website on IIS. This setup worked fine until I wanted to access my WHS from the same adamchurchill.ca domain. When I set a host header for my WHS it wouldn’t forward. From what I can gather from forums it seems to have something to do with SSL. So here’s where I cheated to get it work. I set up my new header on my dns provider (zoneedit.com) and left the host header on WHS blank. Where I had all my other headers set (www, blog, etc) I could let WHS become the default domain. Seems to be working so far!
