hosting websites on two different servers from one public Ip

  • 772

So i'm looking at hosting two websites on separate servers For example: Production site on the IIS server: 192.168.0.1 and SpecialApps IIS: 192.168.0.2 which is also the current test server which will eventually go into production.

Currently after countless hours of research, it been suggested that I should install Application Request Routing (ARR), which I had done so on the .2 server

my goal is to be able to go https://test.mycompany.com.au to go into .2 and https://test.mycompany.com.au/prod to go to .1

when the user go https://test.mycompany.com.au/prod, need to redirect to https://mycompany.com.au which is the production url that is hosted on .1

Having issues trying to get the URL Rewrite code pattern working

Is this even viable?

    If the sites are going to share the same public hostname (test.mycompany.com.au) or IP but live on separate internal servers, then yes you'll need a service like ARR to intercept and redirect requests based on the logic you specify. This function is usually called a "reverse proxy" and ARR supports it

    Take a look through this MS walkthrough doc for detailed configurations and examples: Reverse Proxy with URL Rewrite v2 and Application Request Routing. The basic idea is your ARR rules should default to the local test IIS site and redirect /prod requests to the main server (based on the setup you've described)
