What should be the steps and precautions I need to following Secondly I also want to create another web application which should be accesse by static IP address only. Please let me know how can I persue? Evan

Hi, Maybe you can consider the AAM and extend web application features. For more information about them, please refer to: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261698.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262668(office.12).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261814(office.12).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263208(office.12).aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sharepoint/archive/2007/03/06/what-every-sharepoint-administrator-needs-to-know-about-alternate-access-mappings-part-1.aspx Hope it is helpful!

Maybe you can consider the AAM and extend web application features. In addition to setting up AAM (Alternate Access Mappings, located within Central Administration > Operations) you will also need to ensure that DNS is set correctly so your http:\\portal.domain.com resolves to the static IP address you already have in place. I recommend you use a separate, distinct IP address for the new Web application that you plan to create. The load balanced URL will be http://<new static IP address>. HTH. *EDIT* Seven's suggestion to extend the Web application is appropriate if you wish for the same Web application to be accessible via a separate URL. I gathered from your question that you wanted another Web application accessible by static IP only - in which case you could use a separate IP address as stated above.
