In this article. I can understand your recommendation about not routing to other services directly on the same machine.

I'll give you some high-level background to help you understand the solution. But first I will say, we have worked with Microsoft on this solution and they have never said this is the wrong way to do this or it's a scenario that shouldn't work. I work for an ISV and part of the solutions we provide is a web based platform that is a container for other enterprise applications that the company sells. The platform and applications have their own websites in IIS and can be flexibly deployed on the same machine as the platform or remote machines depending on the customers needs and load.

The platform does the work to automate the deployment of the web services and the configuration of ARR to manifest this single endpoint. The solution also supports load-balancing these servers to provide high availability. This allows us to support smaller customers that want a single server solution or larger customers that want a multiple server solution with high availability.

This is a solution that has worked well in the field for years now. There is a farm setup. The url rewrite rules will route requests to server farms where the target servers are registered with their DNS names and not their IP addresses.

So only requests that come into the farmSite are evaluated for url rewrite and the farmSite is never configured to reroute back to itself.
