Create Symbolic link in Windows 2008 specifying port

Question

I have a Windows server 2008 where I have my website hosted. I'd like to do access the following URL:

http://example.com:8400/one/two/index.html

Using this URL:

http://example.com/site.html

I tried creating a symbolic link like this:

mklink /J 'C:\inetpub\vhosts\mywebsite.com\httpdocs\site.html' 'C:\bla\bla\bla\one\two\index.html'

The link is created, and I can access to it going to:

http://www.example.com/site.html

But it doesn't load the content, I suspect, because the content needs to use the port 8400.

Any ideas how to do this?

You will not be able to use symbolic links to route different ports in IIS. You need to use URL Rewrite module and AAR (Application Request Routing).

Here is a link to get you started.
