Thanks Steve,

 

 

I was expecting the F5 to fo a DNS lookup using the Internal DNS configured on the F5.

 

Anyway I changed my iRule to redirect to the IP instead of the name:

 

 

HTTP::redirect "http://10.21.120.200/odt"

 

 

And what I see is that the external user is redirected to http://10.21.120.200/odt

 

 

But 10.21.120.200 is a private network which is not accessible from outside.

 

 

Thus rather than a redirect rule, I need something that forwards from public to internal via the F5 and not redirect.

 

 

We do this with Microsoft ISA using it as a Revers proxy, anything that hits public IP is forwarded to the Internal IPs via the ISA, we want to remove ISA and replace it with an F5.
