Point Azure Website URL to Another Azure Website

Question

• I have 2 azure websites - two separate projects

• I now have 2 URLs:

  • myazurewebsite.azurewebsites.net
  • myazureblog.azurewebsites.net
  -

• I also have a custom domain, mysite.com, which is pointing to myazurewebsite.azurewebsites.net.

• Azure will only let me add the custom domain to one of my websites, not both, so the blog site won't let it be accessed using the custom domain.

• What I want is when you go to mysite.com/blog for that to actually show the contents of myazureblog.azurewebsites.net.

Can this be done? Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Answer 1

You can achieve this using ARR (Application Request Routing). See this blog post for more details and an example which roughly matches yours: http://ruslany.net/2014/05/using-azure-web-site-as-a-reverse-proxy/

Basically, you create a rewrite rule which forwards all traffic to mysite.com/blog to myazureblog.azurewebsites.net. The client's browser will still show mysite.com/blog, which I assume is what you want.

Answer 2

We tend to prefix our domains to point them to different azure sites.

E.g www.mysite.com and blog.mysite.com

You cant do it like your attempting with the subdomain.

My two cents

Answer 3

I don't think that is possible, think this way, what if you add google.com to your site with url like mysite.com/google ? people will think google is created by you if that works.
