Hi, we are looking to create a URL redirect but only for a specific origin that is part of an origin group. On the Front Door we have an endpoint and routing rule pointing to an origin group which (as of right now) sends to one of 2 web sites hosted in Azure. We would like to add a 3rd origin to this group (website located on-premise.) The app is installed in all 3 of these locations. Problem is that the on-prem site requires a redirection. Is there any way to accomplish this on Front Door whether a new route to different origin group (with on-prem origin) or a rule set configuration? To summarize, if we browse to the endpoint URL (app.azurefd.net), and only the on-prem origin is alive (or lowest latency), then we need it to redirect to app.azurefd.net/subpath1/subpath2

Thank you for reaching out. Is the on-prem origin accessible over the internet? -

apologies for the delayed response here. I tried replicating this scenario at my end and I think this type of redirection will be not possible using Azure Front Door as the on-prem endpoint is part of the same origin group, I think you will have set this redirection at your on-prem endpoint itself. -

2023-01-04T13:11:49.163+00:00 Problem with that is we have a server that runs IIS and hosts multiple websites that resolve on different subfolders (virtual directories). Is there a way to have multiple redirections on the same server? I didn't think that would be possible unless they were listening on different ports
