Few things to consider:It's always better to add additional dispatchers as well (1:1 mapping). Dispatchers are commodity servers and extremely cheap to add additional ones. I would recommend to add new dispatchers to point to new publishers.Any specific requirement to push the code bases to only few...

I don't know your specific requirement and this is just one way of doing it and of course you can skin this many different ways. If you can't allow this then duplicating would be better. But allowing only specific paths for API calls are common.

I don't think it does that. Mostly, we have very little/no control over the CM integrations. Thanks,Singaiah

Allowing CORS for their own internal/external domains is common practice

I was assuming both of these sites are hosted on same AEM server(s). If yes then you/IT should be able to allow to grab the resources on these domains (no CORS) at the Apache level.

I would use the same servlet for easy maintenance (even though you can have a redirect to a different servlet at CDN or dispatcher level) Same servlet and same query logic based on path (should pass in as a request param)If you are maintaining multiple sites then you've different farms tied to farm ...

Are you using the AEM 6.5.7 (SP7) any specific browser/OS? I don't see this issue on AEM 6.5 (SP5). Thanks,Singaiah

I would use Apache Http Client.https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.httpcomponents/httpclient The JAX-RS comes with additional dependencies (this download additional javax dependencies) which might have a conflict with Sling dependencies. Thanks,Singaiah
