Automatically connect to another website with Basic Authentication?

Hi,

I've been researching this, and I'm not sure if what I'm trying to do is
possible, but I thought that I'd ask:

I have two webservers/websites.

The first webserver/website is running Win2K/IIS5, and I want it to act
as a kind of "portal" to the other webserver/website.

The 2nd webserver/website has Basic Authentication enabled. Right now,
it's also Win2K/IIS5, but could be something else later.

The 1st webserver/website has access to users' username/password
information, and what I'd like to do is basically to forward or proxy
the connections coming into the 1st webserver/website to the 2nd
webserver/website, and somehow automatically process the Basic
Authentication login to the 2nd webserver/website.

Ideally, once the login is complete, the 1st website would "step out of
the way".
I've tried a number of things, including including the username/password
in the URL of a Response.Redirect, but that hasn't worked. It does
redirect to the 2nd website/webserver, but I'm still getting the login
popup from the 2nd website/webserver.

Can anyone tell me if there is any way to do this with IIS?

Thanks,
Jim
