Application Request Routing - Single server webfarm setup in IIS

I'm trying to setup Application Request Routing (v2.5) on my Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7.5.

So far I got this:

  1. IIS 7.5 running two sites
    • www.domain1.com
    • test.domain1.com
  2. IIS 7.5 with a webfarm called My-Farm with one server: test.domain1.com
  3. Apache Tomcat running some server on www.domain1.com:10000

I'm able to route requests coming to www.domain1.com to the webfarm but I don't see any result coming from test.domain1.com?

I also tried changing servers at step 2 above to localhost or www.domain1.com:10000 or localhost:10000 but whatever I do the requests aren't proxied.

Am I setting ARR up correctly?

In ARR, when hosting the sites locally in the same server as ARR, I tend to split the public facing sites (receiving the requests) from the proxied sites.

In your case your could have something like this:

IIS:
   - Site 1 (binding: test.domain1.com:80)
   - Site 2 - proxied (binding: 127.0.0.1:22001)

Rewrite Rule
  - Match All
    - {HTTP_HOST} matches test.domain1.com
    - {SERVER_PORT} does not match 22001
  - Action: Route to Far

This way, requests arriving to Site 1 are routed to Site 2 when requesting test.domain1.com. The port change and the rule avoid ARR routing requests to site 2 again.
