  Re: wildcard host header Reply Contact I think Ruslan will be out of office today, so I think what you need is something like:    <rule name="Host example" patternSyntax="Wildcard">     <match url="*" />     <conditions>      <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="*.example.com" />     </conditions>     <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.live.com" redirectType="Permanent" />    </rule>  Thanks.   Daniel Vasquez Lopez IIS Team

  Re: wildcard host header Reply Contact Having read the other thread that you referenced, I think what you are trying to do is to configure several web sites like this: Website1 with host header binding as "*.example.com" Website2 with host header binding as "*.example.org" So that if request is for foo.example.com then it goes to Website1 and request for foo.example.org goes to Website2. If that's what you are trying to do, then one theoretically possible way to achieve that is to use URL rewrite module together with ARR module to proxy the requests based on the host header For example, create the following three web sites on the same server: ProxySite with empty host header binding Website1 with host header binding as "example.com" Website2 with host header bidning as "example.org" On the "ProxySite" create a rewrite rule to proxy requests to other two web sites: <rule name="Proxy by host">   <match url="(.*)"/>   <conditions>     <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(?:[^.]*\.)?([^.]+\.[^.]+)$" />   </conditions>   <action type="Rewrite" url="http://{C:1}/{R:1}" /> </rule> This way, if request is made to http://foo.example.com/default.aspx?bar=1 then the ProxySite with empty host header binding will get it and then the rewrite rule will proxy the request to http://example.com/default.aspx?bar=1, which means that Website1 will get the request. Note that for this to work you need to install ARR module. http://ruslany.net

  Re: wildcard host header Reply Contact  If it's ok I'd like to tag along and add my own question to this.. Basically I'm in the same boat, I tried to use your example and modify it for my case but I can't seem to get it to work as a Rewrite..while it does write out correctly as a Redirect . When I try it as a rewrite I receive a "Bad Request" message..  I'm trying to setup dev environments, and the way that I have to set up the server is. module.username.server.dns.com so.. basically.. testmod.mikesmith.devbox.companyname.com, and I need it to rewrite to mikesmith.devbox.companyname.com/testmod I've set up a Proxy site with no bindings, and a site named mikesmith.devbox.companyname.com   With the follow (and set to redirect) it works perfectly. Redirecting to  mikesmith.devbox.companyname.com/testmod   <rule name="Proxy by host" stopProcessing="true">   <match url="(.*)" />   <conditions>  <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(.*)\.([^.]+\.devbox\.companyname\.com)$" />   </conditions>   <action type="Rewrite" url="http://{C:2}/{C:1}" appendQueryString="false" redirectType="Permanent" /> </rule>  Yet when I change it to rewrite (as seen above).. it flops. I am new to regular expressions, and rewrites so any help would be great.

There is a configuration property in ARR schema called preserveHostHeader. Try setting it to False. http://ruslany.net

If you don't mind can you point me to/or give me a brief walk threw as to how to setup ARR for the above scenerio. I just installed it, but didn't configure anything and am unfamiliar with the module.  Thanks again. -Brahm

Unfortunately what this is doing is making re-write act like a redirect. .so url actually switches from var.ect.ect.com to ect.ect.com/var/ which cause me to loose the dir structure for dynamic linking. -Brahm
