SitefinityInternalEndpoint no longer works after multisite implemented on Azure
We have our Sitefinity 6.3 website hosted on Azure with five instances. Before we added the multisite module, the internal endpoint SitefinityInternalEndpoint made sure that all instances were in sync. Now we have implemented the multisite module and have multiple bindings with distinct host headers to accommodate an additional website we created in the Sitefinity backend. The host headers seem to be working just fine, but the internal endpoint no longer works.
This snippet from the ServiceDefinition in our Azure deployment project (with names changed to protect the innocent) shows the setup. Any ideas?
(The staging host header allows me to bypass the fact that Azure prevents me from browsing to the staging instance of the site after multiple host headers are added - I just add the current dynamic IP to my local hosts file.)

Hello Colleen,
The setting you mentioned should not be related to Sitefinity site only. So you can try to set multipleSiteBindingsEnabled to true as proposed in that blog post point 3
<system.serviceModel> <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled=”true” > </serviceHostingEnvironment></system.serviceModel>Thanks, Svetoslav. We already have this setting like you suggested. Something seems to be preventing SitefinityInternalEndpoint from working.
Hi Colleen,
I have answer you in the opened support ticket.
Once you have the solution, you can share it with the community.
