I have an external (Intranet) web service which requires that Soap
message header be signed and Body should be encrypted. The service works
fine when I connect to it from a client using VB or .Net.

I want to create a internal web service which would in turn call the
external web service. Is it possible to do it. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks.

Yes , absolutely, all you have to do is create a web services project
then add web reference to the external web services, but you'll have to
carefully consider the design because you'll bypass the security and
policy of the external ws. e.g. you'll have to delegate the call to the
external WS by your WS user,
