You will need 2 ip address for your machine (and one host name each), and
bind each server to port 80 to the two different ips. There is a problem
with IIS where it listens on all ports apparently, rather than just the one
adapter you need (never seen this myself because like many people here I
wouldn't run IIS if you paid me) see here to fix the issue:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;238131" target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;238131</a>

Or of course you can just run on two different ports, but that's not as
nice.

I've done this for an Intranet where I work, a secondary school...

I wanted to able to use PHP scripting for the majority of the site, due to
it's ability to integrate with database functions. However, alongside of
this PHP use, which I do through an Apache server, our pupil forum is an ASP
system. All the software that has been installed is open source or free
licence stuff, off-the-shelf. Of course ASP and Apache do not blend into
each other, whilst PHP didn't work on the IIS side, though I have read that
the .NET system can support it. Our school servers are NT 4 based so we
don't have access to .NET.

However, I've managed to get both sides working together by using the port
number issue, I changed IIS to port 150 while keeping Apache as port 80. I
also set the default folder for IIS to a particular folder within the site
base folder. The end result is that by adding a Port number to the hyperlink
that points to the forum it all works on our Windows 98/IE6 equipped
workstations.
In other words the link that a pupil uses to get to our forum reads
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://<server" target="_blank">http://<server</a>>:150 instead of <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://<server" target="_blank">http://<server</a>>. It might be a little
different given the fact that the whole exists within our firewall and none
of the ports, on the particular server that's running the whole site, are
open to the outside world so there's no porting problems.
Overall I must say that the whole works quite well and apart from one server
crash on Apache it has run for the past six months without error...
Our forums are starting to become active as pupils start to realise that the
site exists at all...officially it's still "on test"
