The goal of all of this is to get a Host header to SharePoint that it will accept, per its AAM settings. If the browser makes a request to https://sp.example.com, that Host header will pass through the proxy/load balancer and arrive at the SharePoint server. If SharePoint doesn't have an AAM entry for https://sp.example.com in the zone that it thinks the traffic is coming from, then it will redirect the client to the URL that is in AAM. So considering the that SharePoint has an internal name, and you have an external name that you want to use to access SharePoint, you have basically two options:
-
Add the external URL to the Internet zone in AAM
-
Rewrite the Host header to the internal name as it passes through the proxy
