I think this is something like what I am needing to do, only based off of the user-agent type instead.

What I am looking to do is a redirect from something like www.abc123.com to www.abc456.com/application/. However, I want the browser bar only to show the www.abc123.com + URI. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

That is the part I need, only based off of user-agent, and the F5 is not doing the redirecting.

We have all of the pools we need, and what the user to go to the same VIPs and Pools that they have been.
