Instant and Custom Web Publishing on LAN and Web

[fishtech]

Hi,

Using FileMaker Server Advanced 8.04.

I have some databases published on our LAN using instant web publishing. These are very simple databases used by production staff who do not need full FMPro client.

I also need to publish databases on the web for consumers using custom web publishing. The web server and webserver module would be on the Web (in our DMZ), and the Web Publishing Engine would be on the LAN on the FileMaker Server.

Is it possible to install an extra Web Server Module and/or Web Publishing Engine (on the LAN) calling the FileMaker Server to serve the LAN databases? Or does all web publishing have to go via a single Web Server Module/WPE. I would prefer the former for security and to prevent overhead on our router/firewall.

The FileMaker Server Admin tool appears to offer multiple Web Publishing Engine entries, but the 'Add' button is greyed out after the first entry is created.
