IIS Basics: How to change default site to remove welcome screen - iis

We are currently using an internal farm of two web servers running IIS on MS2019. In IIS, we have a site called ABC under the Default Web Site.
This farm is load balanced. When you go to the VIP (mysite.com), which sends the traffic to the appropriate web server, it goes directly to the IIS landing/welcome page. How can I configure IIS to redirect to s specific site versus the welcome page?
mysite.com --> mysite.com/ABC

I Tried to reproduce the same in my environment to redirect the IIS app to Offline Page during application Maintenance :
I have created IIS Web Application in Windows Server with HTTP Redirection as below.
Once the IIS Setup has been completed, deploy the application code to IIS Server.
The application is running successfully.
Now add an HTTP redirect rule to IIS Server which will redirect user requests to the maintenance page as shown below.
Open HTTP Redirect option and add your maintenance page address.
Make sure to enable "Redirect all requests to exact destination".
After adding the HTTP redirect rule in IIS Web Server, whenever users hit the application. it will redirect the requests to the maintenance page automatically.

Azure Front Door to Website on IIS VM Host

I've got an Azure Front Door that has been set up to link to 2 Windows VM's running IIS, I'm trying to add a Frontend Domain that I can then use to access websites on the VM's.
Azure Frontend Domain
Then I have the backend pool which links to the 2 servers.
Back End Pool
I then have a route to the web servers, which should (as far as I can tell) just forward the request onwards.
Routing Rule
Then I have my web servers which I have set up the bindings on for the website
Website Bindings
However whenever I try to browse to the website I just see the IIS landing page rather than the website I have setup. How do I get to my actual website?
The problem in the end was that the Certificate subject name validation had been enabled. To change you need to go to Front Door Designer then Settings.
if you get the IIS landing page it means the traffic is forwarded correctly from the AFD, your problem is likely with the local IIS setup like the default page or something like that.
