I checked the backend with a Sniffer and the host header is being re-written. Unfortunetly I don't think this is going to be sufficient for what we trying to accomplish.
-------------------------
There is more to it than this but we would need to be able to redirect (based on some critera) a percentage of new requests (i.e. for the default page) that come into a particular Virtual DIRECTLY to another Virtual. Is this possible? We don't want to do client redirects and we don't want to rewrite the host header since that request which we want to go directly another virtual will first need to hit the Virtual-A pool.
As a note we do this do distribute percentages of new sessions from our our primary Virtual to 2 other Virtuals which are used to test code changes, new products, etc.
For example for 3 Virtuals:
Virtual-A: www.abc.com (main virtual - gets 100% of new connections)
Virtual-B virtb.abc.com (will get some adjustable % of the www.abc.com new sessions e.g. 4%)
Virtual-C virtc.abc.com (will get some adjustable % of the www.abc.com new sessions e.g. 6%)
