Hi,
We are looking to make parts of a web application accessible to the internet.
To do this we are setting up an entirely new farm in our DMZ. This should only be read-only so there is no problem that external and internal users don't see/edit the same sites.
To keep the external site updated we are looking to set up a scheduled task that exports the internal site collection to the DMZ and another job restores it in the external zone.
Now, the queston is. What should we think of?
We have 5 site collections + root but we only want to make 1 site collection external.
/
/sites/SC1
/sites/SC2
/sites/SC3
/sites/SC4
/sites/SC5
Can we create a new web application in the external zone. Create an empty content database. Then only restore the root+SC5?
Or do we need to restore the entire content database from the internal zone and then make a database attach then remove SC1-SC4?
