We are running a VPS on win2008. I have two static IP's that are configured for one NIC (probably all virtually because it's a VPS). In the firewall I have a rule to allow traffic inbound on ports 80 and 443 to any IP address.

My first site (domain1.com) which is bound to my first IP address and is using SSL is fine. My second site (domain2.com) which is bound to my second IP address is trying to use SSL but I can't access it locally or remotely.

It's strange because I can do "telnet domain2.com 443" and it works, but if I try to telnet to the IP address of domain2 it doesn't work for port 80 or 443. Also on the website http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ It says that my ports are open for my first domain name and my first IP. It also says there open for my second domain name but not it's IP. Which basically just confirmed my telnetting.

Can anyone help me sort this?

Are you sure domain2.com points to the IP you think it does? Try doing checking "DNS Records" from network-tools.com? – barrycarter Oct 10 '11 at 4:32
100 percent. I've since got my websites working (which was because I hadn't selected a certificate in my SSL binding). However this is still happening even though it's not really an issue now. My name servers are not with my host because of complicated business stuff but would that make a difference? If I use network-tools to find the DNS for my IP address it says no DNS records found. But the site actually does work and is accessible via IP and domain name. – James Hay Oct 10 '11 at 20:31
Try doing a DNS check for the hostname ("domain2.com"), not the IP address. Can you access it from any machine other than your own? Your machine may be special, use a different nameserver, have the IP hardcoded in a "hosts" file, etc. If you're willing to reveal the name, I can run tests from my machine. – barrycarter Oct 10 '11 at 20:41
Well the DNS records for the domain name shows that the answer record is correct. Network-tools appears to be getting the correct nameservers as well. Can I PM you somehow? – James Hay Oct 10 '11 at 21:34
