Hmm, not quite, I think.

 

Isnt it the client who makes the acctual call to the backend server, y.domain.com?

x.domain.com responds with a 302 to the client with a new location header and the client trying to make a new request to the new location?

 

In your scenario, x.domain.com makes the acctual request to y.domain.com in the back, right?

But if there is way to accomplish that instead, im in! :) but im not sure how to do that really..

 

Best regards,

Johan

Sorry for late reply.

 

I've already using multidomain. But I use it abit differently.

I got z.example.com as my primary url.

 

Then Ive added x and y as accepted hostnames in the access policy. With around 20 other urls. All dns-names poiting to the same VS.

 

You are basically telling me to use another VS and adding the same Access Policy to both of em? Does that even work ?

 

Regards,

Johan
