Does Azure Front Door have the capability to load balance or route traffic within a virtual network?
125124
answer: |
126125
To use Azure Front Door Standard, or (classic) tier, you need a public IP or a DNS name that can be resolved publicly. This requirement of a public IP or a DNS name that can be resolved publicly allows Azure Front Door to route traffic to your backend resources. You can use Azure resources like Application Gateways or Azure Load Balancers to route traffic to resources in a virtual network. If you use Front Door Premium tier, you can use Private Link to connect to origins behind an internal load balancer with a private endpoint. For more information, see [Secure origins with Private Link](private-link.md).

- You need Connection Draining, which Front Door doesn't support. Application Gateway can enable Connection Draining for your VMs or containers.
138136
- You want to offload all the TLS/SSL processing and use only HTTP requests in your virtual network. Application Gateway behind Front Door can achieve this setup.
139137
- You want to use session affinity at both the regional and the server level. Front Door can send the traffic from a user session to the same backend in a region, but Application Gateway can send it to the same server in the backend.

Can I deploy another CDN from an external vendor behind or in front of Front Door?
143141
answer: |
144142
Chaining two CDNs is generally not a recommended approach, it would work but comes with the following cons
145-
1. CDNs last mile acceleration utilizes keeping the connection stream with the origin, and finding optimal path to the origin to achieve best results. Chaining two CDNs together typically negates some of the benefits from last mile acceleration.
146-
2. Security controls become less effective at the second CDN. Any client IP based ACLing will not work at the second CDN as the second CDN will see the first CDNs exit node as Client IPs. Content payload will still be inspected.

3. Many organizations cant handle the complexity of troubleshooting two CDNs being chained and when a problem it becomes hard to figure out which CDN is having the issue.
