    Hello @KE1980
    You are asking about overriding host header in the request and ability to derive the host name from the IP or FQDN of the back-end pool members.
    This is the case for Multitenant backend support.

    You can set option Destination host -> Replace in routing rules(Route Type: Redirect)

    @KE1980, this has been not yet provided from portal side. But we have this HTTP header override option available in AFD.

    Hi @suvasara-MSFT

    Thanks for helping up until now.

    It seems that I`m on the right track in regarding using the "X-Forward" and that it is possible. And are currently testing the setup that I have i my lab... I will share my findings as soon as I have it all in the clear.
