For my staging site I have a subversion repository that I update when I need to view the changes on the staging server.

Cannot get IIS ISAPI Tomcat connector to pass BASIC Authentication through to Tomcat

We've successfully configured IIS to front 2 Tomcat instances using isapi_redirect.dll. It's doing everything smartly, and we've been very happy.
