This article is for Account Owners and Project Managers using the Global Delivery Network
Alternate endpoints in the Global Delivery Network (GDN) are used to specify an alternate source origin IP, or address, for the GDN to pull source content from.
This setup is common if you are doing one of the following:
You're using a CDN and want to proxy the origin domain, rather than the cached site.
You've created a site on your staging environment that does not resolve to a DNS (accessible through an IP address), and is behind a firewall.
Configuring an Alternate Endpoint
Go to Account Settings > GDN Hub > Manage Domains
To edit the localized domain configuration, click the arrow pointing right next to the source domain to view the list of localized domains > ellipses > Edit
Scroll to Advance Settings and, under Alternate Endpoint, enter the origin domain or IP address
Click Save Domain
The localized domain URL will be sent as the host header, upstream to your alternate endpoint server.
