Apache handles this with the ServerName and UseCanonicalName commands, and Sun/iPlanet servers have an extensible configuration file, but IIS is broken and does not support this capability. IIS will only report scheme, host, and port values based on what the client supplies in its request. This is impossible to trust and cannot be used to look up settings.

The first element defines a default IIS web site with an Instance ID of "1" that runs on the standard ports. It also authorizes clients to access the site with an alias, and allows the alias to be used when redirects are generated.

The second example element is a virtual web site running behind an SSL accelerator that translates SSL requests to non-SSL requests. The scheme and port attributes override the physical settings with logical values seen by the client.
