How do you hide your webserver and folder in the URL?

[MarcGraham]

Hi there,

I have a pretty standard ArcGIS Server 10.1 SP1 install.  I have a single gis server: arcgisserver and a web adapter: arcgiswebserver both running Windows Server 2008 R2.

I currently access my apps via the following URL: http://arcgiswebserver/apps/mymap1, http://arcgiswebserver/apps/mymap2 etc.

Can anyone tell me how to hide my webserver and folder names so that my users see (and can type) the following:

http://maps/mymap1, http://maps/mymap2?

Also, it's all hosted internally on an intranet, so it doesn't need to go through any firewalls or proxies etc.

Regards,

Marc

You might be able to do this in IIS:

There are a number of examples of software which performs this type of URL routing.  ASP.NET has routing infrastructure so it is also possible to develop your own proxy website and do this yourself.
