IIS hosted site not accessible with ARR

Question

I have hosted a site on Server1 on the port 5001. On Server1 i have also configured ARR to balance the load to other 2 servers. The request that come to Server1 port 80 should be forwarded to other 2 servers through ARR and that is working fine. But the site hosted on 5001 on Server1 is not accessible any more ?? is it by the design ?

Hi @Puneeth DC ,

Please check the url rewrite at server level. The request sent to port 5001 is likely to be redirected to the back-end server. You need to configure the rewrite rules to redirect to the backend server based on the port.

For example:

<conditions trackAllCaptures="true">  
           <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="(.*):80" />  
</conditions>  

Add this condition will only rewrite url with 80 port to backend server. Port 5001 doesn't match this condition and will not be rewritten.
