@David Clare , Apologies for the inconvenience caused. Yes, this is a known feature request which is not yet available today. Whenever a pod comes alive on different node, or any updates done by AGIC on APPGW results in override of manually added rules like rewrite rules on APPGW. This is in our roadmap but with no ETA for now.
