  <p>If I open my-domain.com/svc3, I want traffic to be routed to the App Service.</p>
  
  <p>If this is not directly possible, what would be the best solution?</p>
  
  <p>1) I could put an additional load balancer (like AppGateway) in front of both the AKS cluster and the App Service</p>
  
  <p>2) I could instantiate a second nginx as a service, which then routes traffic to the app service</p>
  
  <p>3) ... ?</p>
