http request redirection/rewrite

Hello,

I am having problem in simple redirection....

I want to redirect clients hitting the VIP ip address (http://10.1.1.1) to (http://web-server/mypage)

I have written following irule but it doesn't seem to be working....

when HTTP::request {

if { [HTTP::host] equals "http://10.1.1.1" } { 

HTTP::redirect "http://web-server/mypage"

}

}

I would appreciate answers...

    Try this:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
 if { [HTTP::host] equals "10.1.1.1" } {
  HTTP::redirect "http://web-server/mypage"
 }
}

      The trigger wasn't properly formatted in what you posted above. Also, HTTP::host will only return the host IP address without any http:// You tried it before exactly as I posted above and it did not work?
