Want to get some feedback on how I can possibly go about this.
I have a client that we are moving to a new version of Umbraco, not upgrading because we want a fresh site. Our client would like their home page on the new version and the rest of their site on the older version while we migrate content and develop the interior section.
Anyone have some insight or advice on possible solutions?
Basically, you create a rewrite rule (not a redirect rule) to send a subset of your traffic to another server.
You may also have to change some paths between each website. For example, ensure the media folders are named different things and make sure any of your compiled frontend assets (e.g., JavaScript, CSS, fonts, images) do not share the same folders. That way, you can also rewrite the appropriate folders.
Thanks Nicholas, I was looking into that when you replied. The more I think and research this, it seems it might be more trouble than it's worth. We like to keep our asset structure the same and it doesn't appear this would be possible using ARR.

Thanks for your time.
You could reverse proxy the pages that aren't the homepage: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/extensions/url-rewrite-module/reverse-proxy-with-url-rewrite-v2-and-application-request-routing
