URL rewrite in Azure Front Door Premium

The rules engine identifies my intended URL fine via a condition. However the Action options - even though one says URL rewrite - only appear to allow rewrite of the path/URI. Not rewrite of the hostname.

If i wanted a rule that would always rewrite https://myhost.domain1.com/path to become myotherhost.domain2.com/path, how would i go about it?

In the FD Origin config, i have the option of setting 'origin host header' to be myotherhost.domain2.com. But that doesnt appear to be sufficient.

You want to retain the path but redirect to another host, so you need to use the URL redirect feature than the rewrite. In the URL redirect, you can configure "Rule set" config wherein you can define the hostname for which this request need to be transferred by Front Door. There are nuances of what type of redirect code you use, based on your context[ and so accordingly you need to choose 302 or 307 and so on]. See the doc page for detailed step by step configuration in Azure portal.
