Answer 1

Application Request Routing has an option to preserve the original host header: preserveHostHeader. This option is by default false. You can enable it with:

"C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe" set config -section:system.webServer/proxy /preserveHostHeader:"True" /commit:apphost

Answer 2

You could set the preserveHostHeader flag by hand.

    <proxy enabled="true" preserveHostHeader="true" />

</system.webServer>

In the iis configuration gui you can find this value under system.webServer/proxy.
