Sorry for the confusion... if you want to pass some requests on to a proxy but have the rule act as an HTTP proxy for local addresses, you'd need to rewrite the host header and change the destination IP address to that of the host header. Is all traffic through the VIP which is destined for a local address HTTP to port 80? If so, it might be feasible to do this. If some of the requests might be HTTPS it would be more complicated. Can you describe the scenario for local requests? I might have time in the next few days to write up a more involved example.

 

 

Else, if you wanted to configure a proxy server for local addresses, you could just send the requests to that proxy server, as you are for the remote requests. Maybe this would defeat your aim though?
