Direct different IP's to different pages on IIS7

Question

Using IIS7, how do I direct internal private network IP\'s addresses to my web site while I direct external IP addresses to a \"site under maintenance\" page?

So far on

You can use URL Rewrite (http://www.iis.net/download/URLRewrite) for that. Then you can drop a web.config with the contents like:

  ...
  
    
      
        
          
          
            
            
            
          
          
        
      
    
  
  ...

What it basically does is to only apply this rule if the content is not already the "site-under-construction" page (to prevent infinite redirects), and only apply this if the IP-address is not coming from 192.168.XXX.XXX (and is not localhost).

Otherwise it will let them come through to whatever page they requested.

Note that this should not be use as a security mechanism since Remote Addr could be spoofed, but sounds like for your scenario it should be fine.
