: Can I configure external content to be served publicly in a folder on a subdirectory that is normally internal? So I get an email from my boss saying that our VP would really like to use
So I get an email from my boss saying that our VP would really like to use our subdomain.companyname.com/portal for a vendor. Keep in mind that I host "subdomain" now internally and that vendor is first on a different server (of course) and external (past our firewalls).
So before giving the obligatory "no" I would like to hear of any mcgyvering I could do to have a folder point to an external/different server?
Note: The subdomain.thomsonreuters.com is completely internal site and only users who are on intranet and have SSO key are able to see it. The vendor - subdomain.companyname.com/portal - would be on the internet and just require SSO key.

To make it work you would have to let the subdomain be available externally as well as internally. Presumably this subdomain has sensitive information on it that shouldn't be available externally. If that is the case, you would have to configure the server not to show the sensitive parts of the subdomain over the external interface.
Once it was available externally as well as internally, then you could use solutions such as:
Reverse proxy -- Pull in the external data and re-serve it.
Framed redirect -- Make it appear that the external data is part of the subdomain using HTML frames.
If making the subdomain available externally is not an option, I don't see a way of doing it. As discussed in the comments, a sub-sub-domain might be a viable alternative.
