Windows – Web service listen on Public and Private IP address

ipprivatewindows

I'm trying to get some applications of ours to listen on the Public IP address of the server. Due to the complex nature of these systems we cannot change the behavior of the applications or what IP address they are listening on.

Is there a way we can create some kind of basic web service on the public IP that simply forwards all requests through to the private listeners?

Our servers are Windows Server 2008 Enterprise.

Well if you can't change the app to listen on a public ip I would try using the firewall as your "proxy" by using NAT and port forwarding. You should be able to translate and forward traffic destined for a specific public ip/port to the private ip/port of the web server.
