We have a service hosted behind our firewall that receives request forwarded through to it by the external router. The service is working fine, however whenever one of our clients adds a service reference using svcutil or Visual Studio, the generated app.config file always contains the endpoint address as https://myserver.myinternaldomain/… rather than https://secure.myexternaldomain.com/… which obviously isn’t accessible to the outside world.

I’ve been playing with the config for ages now and I just can’t get it to work, any ideas?

    I think you have 3 options:

    1. Change the config of your website in IIS to add a host header value of “secure.myexternaldomain.com”.

    2. In your <endpoint> elements in your WCF configuration, specify the complete address of the service (i.e. including the domain).

    3. Use the <baseAddresses> configuration element.
