Server-to-server SSL comms

Can anyone provide me with info or links to info for
setting up server-to-server SSL, using IIS 5.0?

I understand all of the steps involving in setting up an
SSL certificate on the servers. I'm just unable to find
any good info on how to configure IIS and/or the
applications themselves on ServerA to allow an IIS app to
perform a SECURE server-side redirect to IIS on ServerB to
retrieve some additional data to be included in a page for
a connecting client.

Verisign has indicated this is possible using their
certificates, but they don't have the additional
configuration process for MS Windows 2000/IIS 5.0.

Any suggestions, links, comments would be greatly
appreciated.

Secure server-side redirect?!?

I don't think such a thing exists. Redirects are HTTP based - the server
sends a HTTP 301 or HTTP 302 status to the client, and send the new
location. It is up to the client to issue a new request to the new location.

There are tools, for example, that allow your server-side application code
(eg ASP pages) to emulate a browser and issue a HTTP request to the second
server, receive the response, and then stream this to the original client
(or maniupate it in some way and stream the result back), but that isn't a
function of IIS.
