SharePoint Hosted App through Reverse Proxy

Question

Internally it is necessary to do additional DNS work:

So what would the guidance be setting up SharePoint Hosted App using a reverse proxy; would this require split-brain for each App?

My head hurts thinking about it.

Hi,

A split DNS solution would be required for external access in some on-prem topologies. But not for each app, as you would rely on a single wildcard DNS records and not on individual records.

Here is a blog post that explains this scenario in a bit more:
