Using ExternalNames results in many Requests all answered with 499

Hi,

I want to delegate an incoming request to another service with a different domain.
Traefik-Problem-01

As I am developing this scenario in one cluster, I use one Traefik to serve both domains.
Traefik-Problem-02

When sending a request to "https://publicdomain/myapp" the request never ends and I have the following log entries in the Traefik log.

About 160 entries of the follwing two lines:

And then about 2000 entries of the following 4 lines

I have no idea why so many requests are triggerd internally and why they all result in 499.

I use the following configuration:

Thanks for your help and kindest regards,

Problem solved.

The ExternalName changes the domain into an IP-address.
So the rule for internaldomain does not match.
Adding a Host Header with a middleware solved the problem.

No idea why this results in the Http Status Code 499 and so much requests.

What host header did you add exactly? How does your solution look like in config? Thank you.
