Reverse Proxy - Route traffic to external site links

Vote:
 

Hi,

I'm looking for a solution to add a reverse proxy in place to route traffic to external links and use the domain URL as it's. 

This is feasible as mentioned in the following links https://ruslany.net/2014/05/using-azure-web-site-as-a-reverse-proxy/ and https://world.episerver.com/blogs/david-buo/dates/2017/11/support-for-applicationhost-transforms-in-dxc-service/
I've made the changes as said in these links, but it doesn't seems to be working. My changes are below

added applicationHost.xdt file in site folder as below
        <?xml version="1.0"?>
        <configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
       <system.webServer>
       <proxy xdt:Transform="InsertIfMissing" enabled="true" preserveHostHeader="false" reverseRewriteHostInResponseHeaders="false" />
       </system.webServer>
       </configuration>

     2. added rewrite rule in config file 

        <rule name="Proxy" stopProcessing="true">
       <match url="^/xyz?(/)?$" />
       <action type="Rewrite" url="https://www.google.com" />
       </rule> 

the above still returns 404 error for http://domainname.com/xyz/, i tried adding route ignore as said in the first link but still no luck. i.e., routes.IgnoreRoute("xyz/"); in global.asax.cs file. 

I'm not sure if i'm missing anything. this is very urgent requirement to deliver asap. 

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Suresh
