query regarding web application foundation service

Please clarify my below questions:

when we add new URL to internal URL alternate access mapping, that new URL will redirect to public URL , and users would see actual URL only not new URL which we added for internal URL in AAM. then why the concept of internal url in AAM

why can not we use public URL alone in AAM when we have separate URL in public concept for the AAM?

and why web application foundation service running only in WFE not other server?

as we need to add binding for these internal and public URLS and binding for this should be added only in WFE server?

Hi @sns1,

To answer your questions:

1)Each web application supports five collections of mappings per URL. The five collections correspond to five zones (default, intranet, extranet, Internet, and custom), and there must always be a public URL for the default zone.

If you extend the web application to other zones, it's necessary to have at least one public URL for other zones.

So we could add another internal URL to other zones, which make mappings between internal and public URLs.

2)What did you mean "use public URL alone in AAM when we have separate URL in public concept for the AAM"?

3)In SharePoint Server 2016 MinRole farm deployment, it will automatically configure the services on each server based on the server's role.

The Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application service makes your SharePoint server behave as Web Front End Server. That is the server that is going to host your web applications in its IIS.

Therefore, the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web application service will be automatically started in WFE Server.

For more information, please refer to:

4)Yes.
