CirrocumulusCan GTM/DNS Redirect URL?
Hi
From this guide https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip-dns/manuals/product/bigip-dns-implementations-12-0-0/6.html
What the result of this guide? I've configured it and I found nothing happen. (May be I config it wrong)
From my understanding, When user enter URL "oldcompany.com" , F5 will return CNAME ";
But in browser, URL can't possibly change to "; , Am I correct?
So how can F5 really redirect to new URL "; when access URL "oldcompany.com"?
Thank you

Hi kridsana.
A DNS response isn't going to be able to send an http redirect.
It looks like the article you reference above shows you how to set up a CNAME record to reference another WideIP. That WideIP contains the A record that you want to return.
In the article: If you make a request for the competitor.com. A record, you are, after a few queries returned the A record for competitor.siterequest.com.
kridsanaHi Stewart
So URL is the same as before due to F5 DNS can't send http redirect But It will send request to the correct webserver, Am I right?
cause If I make a request for the competitor.com. after a few queries It will returned the A record for competitor.siterequest.com. And browser will send "GET / Host:competitor.com..." to webserver of competitor.siterequest.com.
