GTM Wideip Alias list & irules

I think you're combining technologies that won't. Yes, you can use aliases to eliminate need for multiple wideIP definitions:

 

 

 

The following examples are all valid uses of the wildcard characters for the wide IP name, www.mydomain.net.

 

 

???.mydomain.net

 

www.??domain.net

 

www.my*.net

 

www.??*.net

 

www.my*.*

 

???.my*.*

 

*.*.net

 

www.*.???

 

 

 

However, that's just a matching technique. The client won't make a request for *.my.test.com, it'll be something like www.my.test.com. You can change the host header no problem in an iRule, but I don't think you'll be able to tie an aliased wideIP dns request to the http request, so you'll need to make sure all your (ex - www.my.test.com) would need to be rewritten.
