CirrostratusHi Marker,
Do you need to support access by IP address to the virtual servers? If so, the rule you've posted wouldn't work, as clients would get redirected to 1.2.3.4.ourdomain.net. I can think of a few possible solutions for this:
- Use the iRule you've listed and in effect break access by IP address
- Use an iRule per virtual server with a hardcoded hostname. Redirect everything to that hostname with the URI preserved.
- Use one iRule for all virtual servers and a datagroup that maps the virtual server IP to a hostname. You'd need to update the datagroup anytime the mapping changes.
- Use one iRule and do a DNS reverse lookup on the VS IP to get a hostname that can be sent to the client in a redirect. This assumes that there is a DNS server which has valid PTR records for the virtual servers.
