I am quite new to IIS Web Farms and url rewriting/redirecting.I need my IIS server to redirect an HTTP request to another server if it has some specific subfolder in the url.
I have a domain with domain name; example.com , and it is bound to a Web Application that is running on a machine with IP address 111.111.111.111 .I also have another web application running on a machine with IP address 222.222.222.222. So,what i need is when server receives an HTTP request with a URL that contains a subdirectory named NewApp it shall redirect to the IP address 222.222.222.222.
For example;
If request url is something like example.com/OldApp or example.com then request shall be served by the web application running on machine with IP address 111.111.111.111
if request url starts with example.com/NewApi then request shall be served by the web application running on machine with IP address 222.222.222.222
How can i achieve this by using url rewrite module of IIS?
Instead of using subdirectory, I created subdomain as ; newApi.example.com and set DNS records for it. I didn't go with reverse proxy solution.
