To address a specific host, I can use it's IP to circumvent the loadbalancer. On the default website, I would like to build a rewrite proxy rule that strips an IP from the URL. For example, taking this: http://172.22.33.200/pocit/SitePages/Home.aspx and turning it into this: http://pocit/SitePages/Home.aspx which lives on another site and app-pool. I have host file entries pointing pocit to 127.0.0.1, so the request will remain on the local host. I can see my rule rewiting the request in my IIS logs 2012-01-14 00:48:10 W3SVC1 GET /pocit2010/SitePages/Home.aspx - 80 - 172.22.33.200 but I always get a 404 back in the browser. Any idea what may be going wrong? My pattern matches seem to be stripping the IP from the URL nicely, but I get back Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly. Requested URL: /pocit2010/SitePages/Home.aspx Any thoughts?

The site bindings are made by IT support team, they binded the public facing site in the authoring instance of site. Then even rewriting and redirecting is not working. Can we still implement the rewriting with these bindings? Looking forward for your valuable input.

If so, you should be able to use URL Rewriting when on the public site. @Zohaib: Are you using extended Web Applications, where authoring and public site are based on separate zones and therefore are separate IIS websites?

We followed the article, but we are facing site bindings issue in our setup. Since we have two instances at IIS, one is public facing and second is authoring. What we get is we need to implement REGEX in the public facing instance. When we get it done it doesn't show any functionality. I dig further to find out what the issue might be and found that authoring instance has site bindings that has an entry of public site. When we delete that binding from authoring instance we are getting the functionality of first two steps (URL Rewriting) but we still fail to redirect the old URLs to newly set URLs that is last two steps (URL Redirect). We are also getting lots of errors in status bar in IE 8. Please share us what we did wrong in configuration. Thanks for your time. Hi Waldek,

There are few different free tools available on the web which can help you with this. 1. Failed request tracing in IIS 7, 7.5 or 2. http fidler or the simplest one i have seen so far HttpFox (an addon for firefox. any of these can get you to a position from where you can starttroubleshooting the the 404 you are getting. good luck!

Anyways i have been playing around with the Rewrite module with sharepoint sites for a while since i first saw this post by Waldek and i was able to successfully implement it with our public sharepoint sites. I have also done some minor improvements with the DbProvider option in the rewrite module 2.0. So, just sharing it all you guys incase anyone's still interested >> http://srirajc.blogspot.com/ cheers Sriraj Have been thinking of doing this for a while but never had time.

As you said if we do it for only for redirection or if we have anonymous authentication then it is okay. completely agreeing with you.
