Address translation

Question

It seems like this would come up with any web server and also
with just apache using rewrite rules.
The question is, can I teach DW that the page I'm editing is
at a particular web address?
I'm trying to move from prototype.js and scriptaculous that
Ruby on Rails uses to spry. I think that the way spry does things
will ultimately win out. The essential part of all this is to allow
web pages to be designed by designers and they tend to like tools
like Dreamweaver -- not vi or emacs like I use. And, much of the
niceness that RoR offers doesn't work, doesn't fit with spry and at
the same time, DW has the equivalent features. So, I'm trying to
come up with a "game plan" of having RoR be the server engine with
pages designed by DW. I'm currently using DW CS3.
Here is the first challenge: With RoR, you go to "restful"
addresses like /items or /items/18. /items will be the list of
items while /items/18 will show a page for item number 18.
By default, /items comes into RoR and goes to the index
method in the ItemsController. And then that (by default) renders a
page that originally lives at /app/view/items/index.html.erb. All
that can change if I explicitly tell Rails to render a particular
page but I'd like to "go with the flow" if possible.
So, utopia (in my new feature overload stupor) would be if I
could open app/view/items/index.html.erb in DW and just tell it
that it is an html page and its real web address is going to be at
/items. In particular, when I "test", I'd like to be able to just
hit the default "test in browser" button and have it work.
There are countless other ways to go about doing this but,
right now, I think I'd rather teach DW the address of each page
than retrain RoR. While /items isn't too hard, it seems like it
will get more and more difficult with the /items/10 page or even
the /items/10/edit page.
This is closely related to but not quite the same as server
side includes. The page that RoR actually renders is the result of
a number of pages that are spliced together. I *think* I want to
move entirely away from that; abandon RoR's templates and use DW's
templates.
Part of my ignorance is all the "application server"
technologies that DW "knows" about I don't know anything about. But
I don't understand why DW has to know which type of technology the
server is using at all. That seems very wrong to me.
Last... if there is anyone here that would like to start a
separate mailing list or something for people trying to use
Dreamweaver and Ruby on Rails, please let me know.
(By the way, I have found "Ruby Weaver". It doesn't actually
address the particular issues that I'm concerned about.)
Thank you,
Perry

Hi
Have you already placed any kinda natting in your ISA server ? coz i have seen the ISA server itself taking care of Natting and connected to the public interface of the router ethernet.
Do revert what kinda port mapping you require here in the router and what kinda addressing you have got over there at present ?
Also possible do post out a schematic diagram with the equipments and ips in place.
normal port translation works with this simple CLI..
ip nat inside source static tcp x.x.x.x 8000 p.p.p.p 80
where x.x.x.x is your internal ip and p.p.p.p is your public ip which you used to reach the outside world.
