@JonathanDandois - Yes, you can make the URL to resolve to any specific URL that you want, see examples below on how you can do this in IIS.
Option 1: IIS HTTP Redirect
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/configuration/system.webserver/httpredirect/
web.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<httpRedirect enabled="true" destination=" the URL to redirect " httpResponseStatus="Permanent" />
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Option 2: URL Rewrite

Option 3: Default Page

There is an elegant solution to this problem using default page.
First create "Default.aspx" file with content similar to this:
<%@ Page Language="C#" %><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<%
//redirect to specific web application. You can also parse request and redirect to specific application...
Response.Redirect(@"http://www.example.net/Application1");
%>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>Copy this file on IIS root (commonly "C:\inetpub\wwwroot") and add default document on Default Web Site "Default.aspx" if already not exists.
So how this works? When request comes to IIS root, IIS will look for default document. In this case will be "Default.aspx". This page will then redirect client to your target application.
Of course you can use the same principle with plain HTML document on IIS root.
Another Example:
default.aspx
<%@ Page Language="C#" %><%
string host = Request.Headers["Host"];
if (host != null && host.IndexOf("road", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) != -1)
{
Response.Redirect("https://roadsandhighs.acme.com/roads/");
}
else if (host != null && host.IndexOf("pipe", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) != -1)
{
Response.Redirect("https://pipelines.acme.com/pipeline/");
}
