Can F5 do API redirect?

Hello Experts,

 

I need your suggestion on a situation I have in hand.

My customer is moving it's environment from Akana to Mulesoft. Current mode of operation is :-

 

FW ==> F5 ==> Akana Servers (Web+API gateway) ==> backend application servers 

 

The exisiting path is api.xyz.com/pqr( and many more paths)(This is in Akana) and new path is api.def.com/nlm( and many more paths)(This is in Mulesoft). Customer don't want to change calling path i.e. api.xyz.com/pqr on their end but still want to redirect the API calls to new path api.def.com/nlm

I knwo F5 can handle and redirect/rewrite path based on HTTP/HTTPs traffic but can it redirect API traffic also?

 

Looking for your kind suggestion.

Thanks,

Pras
