CirrostratusYou could try to track redirect loops, but I think it would add significant load to track every HTTP request. What would you want to do if a client was looping between two different virtual servers? The client will give up anyhow (typically after 30 redirects).
Perhaps you could set a session cookie which tracks the redirects. Once that cookie value exceeds a threshold you could send a different HTTP response to break the client out of the loop. You'd probably want to reset the cookie value to 0 when a request is not redirected.
