Multi-site hosting enables you to configure more than one web application
on the same port of application gateways using public-facing listeners. It
allows you to configure a more efficient topology for your deployments by
adding up to 100+ websites to one application gateway. Each website can
be directed to its own backend pool. For example, three domains,
[Link], [Link], and [Link], point to the IP address of
the application gateway. You'd create three multi-site listeners and
configure each listener for the respective port and protocol setting.
You can also define wildcard host names in a multi-site listener and up to
5 host names per listener. To learn more, see wildcard host names in
listener.
Important
Rules are processed in the order they are listed in the portal for the v1
SKU. For v2 SKU use rule priority to specify the processing order. It is
highly recommended to configure multi-site listeners first prior to
configuring a basic listener. This ensures that traffic gets routed to the
right back end. If a basic listener is listed first and matches an incoming
request, it gets processed by that listener.
