HTTP Redirect - (302)

Greetings,

 

 

Based on the following entry I read:

 

http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=53&forumid=5&postid=17805&view=topic

 

 

Is it possible to use something similar to remove our redirects on Apache and let the Big-IP handle them?

 

 

For example, assume I have the following VIP 172.26.30.100 and I have the following Domains pointed to that IP Address:

 

www.abc.com

 

www.abcd.com

 

www.abcde.com

 

 

Can the Big-IP redirect abcd.com and abcde.com to the IP and show it as www.abc.com?

 

 

Currently the 302 redirects are done on the web servers, but if the Big-IP could do that for us, it would save us a lot of work on the Apache side, especially since we usually have over 90 bogus domains for each real domain we own.

 

 

Just wondering, and thanks,

 

Gus

    Gus,

     

     

    You should be able to create a rule to the real domain if you so choose.

     

     

    class domains {

     

     

    www.abcd.com

     

    www.abcde.com

     

    }

     

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

     

     

    if { [getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1] contains $::domains} {

     

    HTTP::redirect http://www.abc.com

     

    }

     

    }
