Multi-Domain Azure Load Balancer using 1 public IP address

Question

I have a very specific question about Azure Load Balancer
I have the following scenario:

Let's say I have many VMs that host different services / websites. Each VM has it own websites and each website is accessed via it's own domain :
(http://domain1.com -> Website1, http://domain2.com -> Website2 etc).

As A Record I have the public IP address associated with the VM:
(20.1.1.1 -> http://domain1.com -> Website1, 20.1.1.2 -> http://domain2.com -> Website2 ).

Can I use Load Balancer , and by having 1 public IP address do the same job? Is it possible?
( 20.1.1.1 -> 10.0.0.1 -> http://domain1.com -> Website1 and 20.1.1.1 -> 10.0.0.2 -> http://domain2.com -> Website2)

I didn't find any clear answer to this question.

HI @Milen Denev

You can use one Loab Balancer but to use the same port (80) to different backends you need to have two differentes frontend IPs.

Load Balancer is a Layer 4 and work with TCP Ports, you can use a Apllication Gateway to address your need. Application Gateway is a Layer 7 and it can publish differents urls using the same frontend ip.
